As for cutting it. As some of you now I already have a hood with a small scoop and vents, and I have never had a problem with it, so I will definitely be cutting the vent out on my CF hood and fitting mesh in there. I need to evacuate as much heat from the engine bay as possible as the turbo concentrates a lot of heat in the engine bay.
Me too, me too!!!!! What about water? The vents you have now are different than the one on our hoods. Do you really think water won't be a problem?
