Thanks for the pics and info!

I didn't have one in for a long time, but the car is my DD and having it sit parked with some of the rain storms we get around here... I don't like that much water just pouring all over the engine. Although it will be back in the garage soon...



My car has been daily driven without one for around 8years now. There is absolutely no reason to use one and by installing one you will risk heat soaking your engine bay in the summer as that vent releases a lot of hot air away from the engine bay.

Art,

I've seen your car and know how well you take care of it, so I value your opinion. I've been on the fence about leaving it open or putting in the rain deflector, but hearing your thoughts on it settles the issue for me. I'm going to leave it open and take advantage of the heat release it offers.



Mods can close! changed my mind.. sorry!
