Maybe not a great idea if you have exposed filters on cold air intakes...Not sure about that.

That being said it would probably be fairly easy to fab some removable rain guards that attach underneath the hood if you're really worried about it.

Good points… the water issue (sounds like not really an issue like I thought) and fear of cutting up my OEM hood were steering me away from hood vents. But I may reconsider now!
