FWIW I know when I get to the garage after driving in the rain my hood/grill area will be steaming, looking like smoke is coming out. Scared me at first but when there was no odor to it I figured it was just the water evaporating from the hot hood. It gets pretty hot under there with the JWT intakes now hehe.

If this is happening without rain you should get it checked out.

Yesterday it was sunny and drove about 90 miles, it was 90% freeway driving.
I got home at night, turn the G off, and walking to inside; and my brother goes; hey !!! your car is smoking!!!!!
I checked temperature gauge, then it was normal, it was about 38F outside; not too cold.
So I took my G out today again, same happening.
Smokes come out from front bumper maybe Radiator area after car turned off.
Is this normal??? Never happened other my cars , even colder weather. even my friend's honda civic don't do this. its kinda embarrassing.
It's water evaporating off of your radiator.

It'll happen when it is cold outside and humidity is high.

I'll take a video of it happening next time I see it at the dealership; I just saw it tonight.

This happened to me also , turned out that the heat sensor is not working , so the fans are not working as a result.
they replaced the whole thing under warranty.

I've had steam come out of my front grille also, freaked me out until I took a closer look and realized it didn't have an odor and put moisture on my hand when I held it over the grille.

you will get used to it man, the moment you bought the G, you pretty much put yourself into big trouble...

I had this before, Light drizzle of rain and cold weather and driving the 37 doesn't mix too well, Its not a big issue. You will see smoke coming out the grille from the hot air coming out from the engine after a drive, Like breathing out hot air into the cold air, where as it turns into smoke or somewhat like it.

I have steam come through the grill on rainy days sometimes, but never smoke on a nice day. Did this get resolved?
