Quick question while we're at it....

I like the hood with the vents. Does water get into the engine bay if it rains, or does it have some form of ducting to keep water from getting in?

Yes just get a cutter and take them off...It's called 3M double sided tape (red in color) and you also might want to order brand new grills...
