Did you experience any problem with engine temperatures,after you installed this Hex Vent,some member say the 2010 model hood wasn't designed for this type of vent and could cause down draft affecting the engine temps.

Or just pluck the whole hood seal off and put it in the trunk. If for some reason you don't like it, put it back on.

I did this to mine with the big cowl hood I have now, took the seal off and it keeps the air flowing out of the engine bay, and since the back edge of the cowl is close to the windshield, no water gets in.

What about rain? Does it get in the engine bay? And what is the factory t-stat degrees anyways?

If you have the factory drip tray it catches the water and dumps it behind the radiator.

^^^ Not sure who you are asking this to, but no I have NO issues with the rain getting in the back side of my cowl, and it rains a lot here in Fl. Also I believe the factory t-stat is 195*, I have a Mishimoto 169* in mine.
