Do you think the VIS Cobra R hood is functional? if so, would it be a bad idea to purchase it if the water will get onto the engine?
o and LANCE? I take it your your hood is functional, DOesnt water get into the engine compartment? |
I didnt know you could buy them straight from the ppl who make them for Ford for that price!! thanks Lance!

Mine is the OE replacement hood from HOFibertrends. It is non functional. Price is better than anyone else out there and it fits perfect. I made no adjustments to the hood. Mine was 419.00 after shipping which is cheaper than most before shipping. The vents are not cut out. You could cut them out but yeah water will get on your motor. I would say only cut it out if you only drive on nice days.

some water on your motor is fine, do you think it stays dry when you drive in the rain?

The only problem I see with cutting the vents on the cobra r hoods is that the water could leak into the motor and make its way to the coil on plug boots and get down below there and make your car run like crap. Mine don't seem to get a good seal and if you spray any water close to them, water pools up around them and gets down in there and the car runs like crap.
I don't get any water on the top of my motor when I drive in the rain. Just mainly the bottom. I've drove mine in the rain the day before my last car show and didn't have to reclean my motor for the show. In fact i haven't cleaned my motor since January, and I just usually have to wipe or blow the dust off the top of the motor. |
yeah let me know too as I own a black stang.
