I picked one up from Amplified Motorsports and decided to try it out at the track today (Willow Springs). I decided to buy it because it was a good deal and because I had seen a few articles in Import Tuner confirming that vented hoods work.

It worked great today..no fitment issues. I obviously could feel heat leaving each of the vents after tracking. I drove home in an hour of rain and had no water in my engine bay...So if you are thinking of tracking your G this summer, it seems to be a good mod.

 

pics...?

 

thanks man for info....i want one for my G but i was afraid of water coming into the engine

 

Thanks for sharing. Love mine too.

Eh its k still looks great haha

 

Yup love mines too.



(Can't really see it, but its there lol)

 

so how does the water escape the vents without dripping inside the engine bay?

 

^So skeptical...I thought YOU would love this grill! Look Pre-Punched HOLES!

 

I want one!!!

 

Water goes in. I've had mine through numerous rainy days (light and heavy) and numerous washes. No problem. I have an Injen CAI too. Not stock intake box. But as long as you don't submerge half of your front in water, it should be ok.

I just drove around in heavy rain on Saturday. I also parked the car while out in the rain. This time I did get water in my engine bay. I will probably use the vented hood for the summer months in Cali but switch back to stock in the winter months.
