jdm hood TILT and water?????

is it possible to run into problems with the hood tilt when it is raining in the winter? or when washing the car?

 

[cgpEJ6]

The hood tilt is not JDM and yes it can have problems with rain, snow, dirt and anything else getting in there.

 

[roaddogg3034]

[Szady]

Ive had mine spaced for about 2 months now, and Ive driven thru severe rain storms, and not one problem.

hood tilt is when the hood is raised up by the hinges?

and is the purpose just aesthetic?

Theoretically, the mad tyte JDM hood tilt could work on all cars, right? My dad's Chevy Tahoe has been overheating and I wonder if this would help?

Itd be to better to fix whats causing the car to overheat rather than avoid it.

Don't worry about it, its when something happens to your hood eventually leading to the engine developing a small hole in it which gets bigger and bigger till parts of the rods fly out.

if you actually took the time to read the link I JUST posted, its putting washers / longer bolts under your hood to prop it up on the cowl side, supposively releasing hot air trapped in the engine bay.

I love the hood tilt, its so functional, and adds a clean look. However I dont drive a neon or cavaller so this mods not for me.

 

[YoungKadafi]

to answer the OP's question too, yes you will run into large problems. The only way this mod works is if you remove the black cowl gaurd to expose the wiper motors, and set your blower on high, you will effectively drop your bay temps by quite a bit. The air will be forced down into the blower motor, and out your vents, because its high pressure around the cowl.
