If you hit a puddle hard enough to get water though the scoop, you'll have more problems than a wet motor.. you could get the fan to pull forward and hit the radiator.

I know of people who have had cracks form on the corners of the scoop openings. Make sure to use the poly hood pin kits from AutoFab, they will help cut down on the damage from vibration. My scooped hood has the cracks, but the hood has seen a very tough life.

I had the inserts for the stock hinges pull out, and had to pin it on all of the corners. No big deal, but it's a pain in the a$$ to check the oil if the wind is blowing.

Mine was built to use pins in front and stock hinges on the rear. I'm not sure if there is a glass hood with the latch that would really work.
