Well, I think we have to understand that driving a car with hood vents in the rain isn't like taking a couple 5-gallon buckets of water and dumping them in the engine bay. It's pretty warm on the engine ... the minimal amount of rain that gets in evaporates relatively quickly. Also, I can't speak for specific hoods, but many of the aftermarket ones I have looked at in the past (for other cars) have some form of water management system.

Although, it will get much dirtier under there.
