Have you PM'd member RPipower or joe@raceprecision/VegasTrashed this question, you guys can't expect them to read every thread/post..
Member Vegastrashed himself posted on a thread he drove from Vegas to LA with his air scoop on in the rain without problems..
have you guys actually taken a look at how the air duct travels...you'd see how difficult it would be for water to get UP it....
and if you are so concerned about it, just take the scoop off in the rain...it's not like you'll be driving hard in the rain anyway right, so you won't need it on....members switch out wheels all the time for winter/spring set-ups...not that much harder to take a scoop off for the rainy season
now just get the scoop already

Wow can you believe how long I spent searching for topics like that? I couldn't find any.
Well I installed it about an hour ago.
And I had already contacted RPi.

jesus christ krozi you are annoying as shit when it comes to your modding
all you ever do is freak out when you buy a mod. Do your research and then buy, dont buy and then ask 1000 questions

I always do my research I look up everything I can find before I buy something.
I just don't want any harm to come to my car
After this I think my freaking out days are over
