Remember to cover the holes leading to the airbox so no water gets in.
Shouldn't be an issue unless you're spraying water in from the front vents. The hood vent shouldn't be an issue as any residual water getting in should go right out of the drain hole on the bottom of the airbox. Its meant to drain out any rain that gets into the vent.
