Quick question about SEIBON TS style hood!

I have installed SEIBON TS style hood, and was wondering if it is safe to park my car in the rain.

WHen I first buy the hood, I was hoping that there might be covers that can be freely on, and off in the case of heavy rain underneath the hood but there were not.

Sorry bout the poor english.

Thanks in advance guys.

Only time it can cause a little problem is if you supercharge your G, then you may have some belt slippage when it rains

I put towels over my engine and put a piece of plastic over the towels. So the water doesn't absorb.

Yes CF can be painted to match. I would color match the hood but leave the vents CF...looks real good that way.

seibon makes great products no doubt!! As long as you don't change your intakes and they are in the box you should be fine.

Yeah, I love the hood, but the thing is I have installed Stillen intake kit which makes me concerned mostly. It seems that there is no way water goes through into the OEM intake, but stillen one makes me little worried.
