No.... Just not to smart. I spent yesterday afternoon at the eye doctor getting metal that has started to rust, picked off both my eyes. Wasn't fun and won't happen again. True Story!!!!

This looks like a great idea. I know the motor gets wet driving in the rain but would rain and snow cause any issues with water pooling on top of the motor?

I have no problems with water or snow on my 318, took the drip trays off the 5.9 hood vents that I have. I do have a filter wrap on my CAI, noticed last winter there was some snow around it. Never any problems though.

I'm not convinced snow and rain will make much difference given the size of the vents. We ran tractor engines out in the open for years with no problems. I ran mine through the car wash the other day, no issues.
