Could I get some more people who have driven in the rain with the scoop confirm that no damage has occured?
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

Yes Gene, we're all VERY impressed with your fact finding abilities! J/K, you really DO have a knack for it! Perhaps you should be a detective??

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.

Hahahaha, yea I have a knack for freaking out and becoming paranoid about the mods I do. It's probably not healthy
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
