Driving, no issues due to the aerodynamics of the car and sitting still, the water just rolls dn the fender wheel wells. The center drains dn the top between the front of the engine and radiator. I have been in the rain and had no issues.

curious to know if any of you guys running high-rise and/or vented hoods noticed a drop in temps. the stop and go traffic in LA has my 03 Z06 running at a constant 220-228* and although i know it's normal, summer hasn't really hit here in socal and would like the temps to come down a little.
plus most of these hoods look awesome!!

I have been running the ACP Vented Hood for almost 2 years and my temps dropped about 6 degrees on the road. In stop and go I can see 220, but as soon as I get rolling back to around 200 with the AC on during the summers and about 194-196 on the hwy in the summer, the best part is the quicker lowering of the temps once on the move, this is good for my blower setup
