probably not much tbh. Especially if your moving.
the rain guards are super easy to put on though if your worried.

I don't drive very often and the hood I was looking at doesn't have a rain guard available for it.

Mind it's parked outside.

are you buying it used? I believe all of it should come with one.

if it doesn't and your worried then ...maybe carry around some blue painters tape so you can tape it up for the just incase times? lol.
Idk if i would want for it to sit over night in pouring rain. The maf and the parts around the turbo would be the main electrical stuff that'd get wet.

I saw that. I like those side vents, design-wise, since they kind of fit with the body lines. The vents in the front of the hood kind of look out of place, but obviously serve a good purpose to create airflow from the grill on out.

ah the evasive one.

Kind of hard to see what part of the engine is exposed but it looks to be more towards the front than the varis one so maybe it'll be ok. I's still carry blue tape around just incase.

I didn't think those front vents were over the top of the engine. The motor itself starts after the edge of the headlights. I was thinking those vents are over the where the intercooler and radiator lie (this includes right above the intake). Maybe towards the back it sits over the pipe that leads to the turbo.

Looks decent but I want to see real numbers. Where are the back-back runs on the track showing cooler temperatures for all these cooling modifications? I want some data - PROVE to me your solution is worth my $.

Based on the vent placement looks like it’s right over or slightly behind the radiator. Correct me if I’m wrong. I thought the main culprit of heat is the turbo, so further back placement of vents would be more optimal?

Definitely interested in hearing on future experiences with this Evasive hood.

I’m with you on that, I’d love to purchase it. I’m just worried about rusting everything out since it doesn’t come with a rain guard nor do they sell one for it.
