removed hood vent q
may sound like a noob question but i love to be cautious. I removed the shield under the hood vent for looks so you could see into the engine bay like most others on the forum have. but...when it rains a lot of water gets in the engine bay and even tho it would anyways, it smokes a lot at startup and a little bit at idle...i think it is normal but someone make my worries go away....thanx

Took mine out for a while, no problems.
Took some aircraft grade paint remover and got all the paint off the top side (Was fading anyway).
Once all the paint was gone I used some metal polish and it shined up perfectly. Looks great under the black mesh that is already there.
