Default S2000 J's Racing Hood

I know theres plenty of S2000 people on this board so i figured i'd ask a simple question. I've been looking into getting the J's racing hood for my car (not the mugen V-type) for the simple fact that i like the style (and i plan on painting over the carbon fiber boo hoo). Now my main concern is that water would get in the engine bay due to the reverse vents. Is there a way to prevent this or no? if not i might just not even get it if theres an extreme risk to water getting inside. anyways any and all info and advice is much appreciated.

The only thing I can think of...which might look like shit..maybe fiberglass the back of the vents, and paint it black....

of course then they become non-functional.

Dont drive in the rain? Or put filters after the vents.
