Hey all,

I'm going to get the RTR (non LED version) grille to replace my OEM. Seems like it has a quality build/finish and stays true to the original design language of the car.

Before I do this I want to make sure of a few things:

(Note I have the GT350 CAI (Performance Pack 2) on my 2016 GT.)

1. Does having extra open verbalization mess with the performance of the CAI or overall engine?
2. Does having radically increased ventilation cause any vibrations or added flex in the hood when at speed?
3. During inclement weather, is there any risk of too much rain getting into the engine bay and messing with the open air-style CAI?
4. The RTR doesn't have any mesh covering the side "windows" - is there any risk when rocks hit that they damage something important in those areas? Is there any issues when washing the car having that space hosed with extra water?

Thanks for your help. I am probably overthinking this. :)
