If you are going to have that may giant holes you might as well not have a hood. It rains hard in Florida during the summer. Have you ever washed under the hood and had the car not want to start? Maybe if I lived in the desert in socal and they weren't so stylisticly over the top...

[ puts on flame suit ]
i just had a crazy idea... would it be practical to design a hood with some a flap covering the vent? kind of like how 18 wheeler's exhaust pipes have the little caps on them?
this way when the car is parked you don't get water in there, and the idea is that these vents have negative pressure on the top so they would just open up once you're at speed.
probably not a good idea, but i'll throw it out there anyway
