Getting a new hood for the xA

[Captain N]

Ok guys I need some opinions on my new mood I'm getting. I want to get this carbon fiber concept hood. Heres a pic.http://www.customautotrim.com/bodykits/extreme-dimensions/img/04_xaccgtconcepthood5.jpg
This is the website I was going to order it from this website

Not sure if anyone ordered from here before or not.
Also I was kinda curious about the hood. It has those 6 slits in it, so I was wondering about when I drive in the rain cause a ton of water is going to get into my engine bay. Is there anything that I would need to cover up before putting this hood on??? I was going to have my HID's installed before the hood so just want to keep those any from harm way, and didn't know if my intake was going to get a ton of water into it.

I'd call them and ask, if they do not have little filters on them I'd go to home depot and get get a new AC filter like you would use on your home. Then cut pieces to fill up those holes. Acourse take them out when your at a show or whatever.

find out if u could use 3mm double sided tape. whatever you could use that wont leave a mark. Before you do that though call them and see if it has something on it to stop water

I gave them a buzz today and they said they were cut all the way through. They did say though that the slits were very small and no one had a problem with the excess water getting in. They do not come with any guards either to re direct the water flow.

lol sounds good, waiting for some xmas money to come in to place the order. Yeah i always get torn where to post everything. Like should I ask a question here and there and see what responses I get? I'm not sure how many people are on each site, so I figure the more the merryer lol.

cool sounds like a pretty sweet hood. cant wait to see pics after install

Yeah, just matters how difficult the question n all. I dont post questions on the xA here really just because team ist has more "experts" on the car. The xA was not a popular car so its hard to find alot of drivers n lovers of the little hatchback.
