Yup, it would if you don't put the rain caps on the back side of the holes.

do the caps complete block out the vents? or stop most of it or what? i remember seing a vented hood and on the back you can see a path type route where the water would flow through if it got in the vents... it was pretty neat...

trig its longer then a month... still getting that new hood? lol

Looks really good! Can you tell me about the fitment because I can't really tell by the picture. Thanks!

TRU681...I took the picture, so I can tell you that from the outside it fits well. Most lines match up, but as with many other aftermarket parts, it doesn't line up perfectly on the passenger side near the front (where the bumper and hood meet). The front set of vents go through to the hood and have that wire mesh...the top set of vents are "false vents"..they do not go through.
