Question to all of you with the heat extractor hood. I am getting my Vortech S trim and it seems like the supercharger will sit almost underneath the hood vents. Does anybody worry about water getting in there and causing any problems? I dont ever drive the car in the rain, but what about when washing it?

I use a strip of 2” wide blue painter’s tape on the underside of each vent. During washing, I avoid dousing the vent areas with water and sponge up the excess.

I have driven in the rain and the snow without any problems. As for washing, you will have to ask somebody else

Whenever I wash my Saleen Cobra I lay a couple of towels over the top of the engine directly beneath the hood vents. I then use the damp towels to wipe down the engine compartment, trunk & door jambs.
Unless, of course, I'm also detailing the engine compartment then it's already going to be wet...

I stick the nozzle of the hose down them vents. She steams up all over the place but I think she likes it.

The last time the Speedster saw a bucket of soap and water was when Ted came to visit, yeah, it has been a few years... I wonder when he is passing through Colorado...

You would be correct, April 2004 it was, in Tennesse. It's still clean, so no need to get out the bucket yet
