I guess that'll happen if you drive in the rain. The only rain my car has seen was one run group at the track, I I think I did a pretty good job of using g-forces to slosh the water out.

We also need to get that lower lip mounted on your car. Will add some stability and hide that crusty condensor guard. FWIW- recall when I did mine I started with a 2.5" reveal and thought it was too low and redrilled for a 2" reveal? Well, going back to 2.5". The heavy belting I used didn't deflect one bit at the track (pics at 120'ish show it not bending at all.)
