My take on it is that reverse cowl hoods are too ricey looking on a TC. Besides on most colors (besides flint and black) CF sticks out like it is not supposed to be there.

CF looks best on a White tC with 5% tint windows. really gives a black and white contrast.

im not a fan of the Reverse cowl because of the rain factor.
rain gets right in there and just ruins your day. im going for the OEM CF for my SW

There has to be some way of plugging up that gap on the reverse cowl... Even if it means soldering a piece on... Hell you could prolly get away with superglue and a fitted piece of plastic.....

That's what I was thinking. Some Hot Glue would be better though.

i prefer the OEM style myself

the reverse cowl hoods have to have the hole, thats why its there to vent, and yes water will get in the engine bay, but as far as damage...i dont think anything major would get damaged by a lil bit of water
and of course if you dont wanna take that chance then u purchase a OEM style CF hood

hope this helps
