Hood Vent question for guys up north
#17
Guys... Mitsu has made design flaws in the past... but I dont think they would put a big hole in the hood if i cant handle the potential elements that were inevitably going to come through. Our cars are street legal rally cars. Rallying is the only type of racing that happens in all environments... dry, wet, mud, ice, snow, etc. Our car even has a setting on the ACD for Snow. So cover if it bothers you, but I would worry about other things... Like finding big parking lots to make snow donuts in!

I don't know about how it would be in the snow since i'm up in WA. It rains here a lot and i just have the grill with no vent. no problems starting my car and no rust issues or anything like that. my BBK is still as shiny as when i got her.

It won't really hurt anything but your engine bay is going to get dirty as ****. I'm about an hour away from Norfolk and I can tell you right now that removing it is probably going to accelerate any corrosion problems that you might run into anyway due to the salt in the air. I'd put it in there at least until winter ends and we stop getting so much rain/snow. Seized nuts and bolts can be a pain.
