carbon fiber hood scoop cover?

[bxjdm]

i jsut bought a used carbon fiber hood for my car and i really dont like how water can go into my car near the radiator / header area. what can i put to cover it and still have the nice carbon fiber look?

Stick a thin piece of weatherstripping to the underside of the hood where it leaks at, that should work.

is it OEM style or does it have vents?

It has vents most likely. IM thinkin its like tims hood. The design of the hood like that is functional. WIll not have any negative effects other than discoloration of the header. But you can put mesh in there to preven larger objects from entering.

Some carbon hoods don't have a fiberglass filled vents. A buddy of mine has a Mitsu-galant with a evo style hood. His hood was made by vis and has those vents covered with a dull black fiberglass like whats found under the carbon skeleton so no water can pass throuugh. You could probably just seal it yourself with fiberglass yourself. Just use cardboard or something so you will have a firm base for the fiberglass to lay on then glass it over. To match the carbon, you can paint it a dull black to match the under skeleton of the carbon hood.
