No Problem NicK! One trick you can try is to remove the rubber gaskets at the rear of the engine compartment...The ones that seal the hood and don't allow air in. They just snap into place. This is a natural high pressure area, and by removing them, you will ventilate the engine bay from the rear, then out the bottom. I've done some temp datalogging on another car and seen an 18 degree improvement. Plus hot air will naturally spill out of there when stopped and heat soaking. You'll notice a little more noise as the gaskets are mostly for NVH. No water issues to worry about. If you want even more air, pull the plastic cover at the "V" of the strut brace
