of the replica brands out there, Seibon's fitment is probably a much better bet then ebay brands or VIS.
hood pins on our cars are completely unnecessary.

Second time I've utilized your help this week... as I was pulled over waiting for a tow truck and I came across your dead alternator thread from way back on my phone. I threw the P2503/2502 code too on my way home from work. What an expensive PITA!

The Varis comes with rain ducts. (ie; it's trays that you screw in on the underside of the hood so that it diverts all water down towards the front bumper and away from engine components)
Not that any of that matters for me since my car isn't driven in the rain. This is where you'll typically find my car.![Cool](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/cool.gif)

Water isn't an issue under the hood.... depending on your intake set-up but for the most part, in the rain water is getting into your engine bay anyway while you drive.... and when I wash my bay I give it a low pressure sprinkle of water to get rid of all the dust.
Edit: I also love that hood too PDX

correct, all newer cars have water sealed components so even if water DID get into the hood (via the vents), you should be fine.
