You never know when you'll be trapped and forced to go through a flood, or deep puddle. Air still goes through the shields pretty easily, but not water, so I doubt any power would be lost. Maybe less then 1 hp if that matters. Just got them in today.
im sorry but this whole post just sounds silly. what the heck are you doing driving through 5-6 inches of water. thats a deep spot man! i know what area of texas you live in and you should know by now just to let it sit an hour or two and the deep water will disperse. i wouldnt even want my car back if it had water damage.
