Cowl hood question
 

Hey guys,just ordered a 4" cowl induction hood. A few questions I had though were,is there some kind of guard I can put under the opening part by the windshield for when it starts snowing out here? Not sure if the snow will damage or rust anything. Any ideas or information about the hood at that would be greatly appreciated. I mainly got the hood for the apperence. I have no idea honestly if it will actually boost my performance any lol. Thanks guys.

shouldn't have to worry much, figure if you drive through a puddle that splashes into teh engine

Don't worry about it, my '94 had a 4" cowl induction hood and I drove the car through a couple Wisconsin winter's like that with no problems. If anything it'll help you out as the head from the engine bay comes straight to the windshield and it melts the snow and ice and keeps frost from forming.

i too have a cowl on my z and i drove it last year in the snow and i also drive it in the rain and its no problem like chad said i think it actually helps in the cold becuaze the heat from the engine helps melt the snow and ice and acts as an external defogger

Thanks you guys helped out alot,yea project(dont know your real name: :) ) your car gave me the idea to get the hood. Your car is simply amazing along with a handfull other cars on this forum. I plan one day to get it up to those standards. Talk to ya guys soon,ill keep posted on the hood progress.

Just got the hood on last night with my dad and a friend of mine helped. Didn't come with all the bolts,and the old ones wouldnt work because of the thread difference,but ended up getting it on ok. Looks awesome to me,ill post pics asap,raining like all hell today in ohio:(

Pictures are not the greatest,but decent enough I guess. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks P.S. Getting the whole car painted next,let me know some color ideas:)
