Default Anyone got any ideas for making a temporary plug for my fiber images vented hood for wet weather?

Im really out of ideas on what i could use or make to keep water from getting in there. Im only worried about the center vent and when the car sits somewhere and rains to the point where it gets something wet. Making it only rev to 2000rpms like others have reported. Any ideas would be awesome TIA

buy a car cover for when it sits or is there a problem when driving in heavy rain as well?

Default Or have a sheet metal shop fab you something up

you could have something that covered the top and bottom, using screws and wing-nylocks to tighten the two together on each side of the hood. cover the edges with rubber or plastic to protect the finish of the hood. Only thing I could think of.

Or buy a non-vented hood.

saran wrap the hood, holds up well with heat.

Default I've had my Vortrag hood on the car for a loooong time now and hadn't had issues with rain yet.

The vent is about the same spot as on the FI one.
