Default question about carbon fiber

so i got my turbo installed a few weeks ago, runs great. one exeption, when i sit in traffic for a little of 10 mins on a real hot day, my car almost overhearts. i replaced the stock radiator with a huge mishimoto rad, replaced the stock thermostat with trd and replaced the stock fans with 10' mishimotos, AND added a 3rd fan in front of the radiator. the car no longer overheats. no matter how hot it is or how long it sits, but all the heat in the engin bay isnt good.... so my question is,


does rain get into the engine bay with a cf hood with a scoop? if so, what can i do about this. any certain brand that is best, i really like the kam, and sebion hoods. But i dont want nothing too tacky, so any answers, suggestions would be awesome, i dont get online much so if you can email to my phone

thanks alot.

nice cooling setup, mine is almost the same.. but im looking at the custom hood one member here is trying to work on, try searching hood concepts... i like the design and seems like its the only hood that can work with my setup.. kam hood looks great but i think it allows alot of water to get in
