I feel stupid for asking this but I honestly don't know the true answer to this. You know how there is that screen on the hood? Well I have that lil tray that sits under it. Now under my hood it gets hot. I wanted to take that tray off now that it isn't rainy season, but kinda scared because I worry about if I wash my car, if water will get in there and get on the alternator and make it bad. People said that cars that have a hood like that do it all the time and it's fine, but I wasn't sure if I can only do with when I do the swap, because like maybe the alternator is more out of the way or what? I have that 5SFE engine. Do any of you have yours off and can wash your car just fine with water all getting in there?

Ok thank you Manny, and thank you everyone else.

Oh wait, that fabric under the hood, can that come off too? I mean, will it be alright?


EDIT: nevermind I seen tufy doesn't have anything under his and his car is faster and engine works harder than mine, so I should be good.
