Vented Hood solutions???

So I have my Seibon CF TSII Hood that obviously is vented. What did you guys do, or would do, to keep rain and etc from trashing the engine bay?? If it rains my engine bay looks like s***.

is that your car in that sig? it looks like it'll handle so awesome.

to OP, just put trash bag over the intake and wash the engine bay with treated water and pressure washer. it won't hurt anything and won't leave any spots. my vented VIS hood came with rain tray, and you can easily make one
