I have the same vents - the drip pans. Was your reason more for looks? I did mine to allow the heat to escape and havent had any issues with water/snow. Does the drip pans in your opinion defeat my reason for installing? Or have you noticed the heat escaping with the pans ?

Thanks for the comments. If you look at the side view photo you can see there is space for the air to get by the drip pans. Besides the large opening on the side there are holes drilled all around the sides with close clearance. The rising heat seeks the high points under the hood where the vents are located. While under way the rising hot air under the hood is pushed up through the vents as air comes in through the grill and radiator. It also allows the hot air to get out after you park, which is often when the under hood temp is the highest. I also did it because I like the way they look.
