Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood Upgrade installed on TRD Off-Road

[Franco]

Water intrusion on a rainy day, no concerns with that?

There is a fiberglass liner under the hood that disperses any water that may get into the hood scoop (probably very minimal)

Do you think the snorkel makes the engine compartment watertight?

No it doesn't, which is exactly my point.

So driving with the engine submerged is Ok because the snorkel allows one to do so? I would think submerging an engine would be bad for the engine but what do I know.

You can put a snorkel on the car and it'll drive with the engine submerged. A bit of rain won't do anything.

Wrong and bad advise to propagate.
Show me in the manual or a Toyota doc thats stated you can submerge the engine if you have a snorkel.

Nice looking hood. Wonder what it cost and if its more ridged than the OEZm?
