i didnt go into detail it drains in a plastic peice in front of the radiator and if your driving in the rain trust me its gonna splash in the plastic peice and the belt system will probably splash a little.....for me it wont work or do i want that as i have a roto-fab radiator cover and plenty of cosmetic stuff i dont want wet

I don't drive my car in the rain that often so water is not a concern. The price is too steep for that insert. I am going to paint it white anyway so the CF does nothing for me. Wish GM or some after market people would make an aluminum or fiberglass insert one for around $400. Has anyone bought the suncoast's hood and are the fits and finishes?? Maggie clearance?

You will only get water going in the engine bay is if your stopped, If i had a ZL1 there is no way any water will get in. (If you dont stop water cant get in) LOL

i dont drive my car in the rain either but the last duct work on the zl1 hood will probably interfear with my radiator cover,,,,it would have to be modified plus i am getting a maggie and that presents another issue

[2SSRS@Gen5diy]

It will fit a maggie with some work but not much.

IF you have the ZL1 fascia you will need to have the lines matched with this hood. The hood was designed to fit the SS fascia/cowl lines. And this cowl I believe is about an inch taller the the OEM hoods...

Here is a part we cant get, i was told.
