Default FIberglass 4" cowl problems?

I am looking into a Glasstek 4" cowl for my Camaro off of thunderracing.com and was wondering if anyone has problems with rain water or water from washing the car getting into the engine bay. Thanks.

Water can get behind the cowl but it wont hurt anything. The sensors are made to resist water unless they are sprayed with high pressure. Other than that, normal water going on the engine bay wont harm anything.
