Do they make vent blockers/covers for this hood to use on rainy days?

Not to my knowledge, I worried about that for the first couple of months but its been rained on and snowed on throughout the course of a year and I have not had any issues in the engine bay, it hasnt really gotten as dirty as I thought it would have either. I think it has something to do w how the vents are shaped? Not sure.

The vendor (Mod In Japan) provided pic of the underside, so i'm confident it's supercharger compatible.

I believe this hood will also create more downforce with a proper splitter, for track guys. I have no experience in designing aero, but have read about it. It is a proven design to allow air flow over the splitter, through the radiator and out the hood.

I don’t know about the seibon unit.

hi, do you have the Seibon hood without vents in stock? Do you know what weave pattern it is? Twill or Plain? Thanks.
