I'm thinking of getting one, but not sure if it's practical in a raining city like Vancouver Canada. I'm worried that too much rain water will enter through the vent holes.

From what I've heard, the vents are mainly above your headers. Rain water will not therefore be a major issue in terms of any electrics or sensors etc.
You can get trays to catch the water as well I believe?
I'm going to get one at some point for sure.
Think it adds the aggressiveness needed to help stand out.

I had similar concerns living in the UK.

I did stick a thermometer in the vent after some hard runs with the car (before covering the holes) and the temp's coming out of the vents were over 135F

It totally negates the heat loss effect you can get from having this hood, but i made acrylic "windows" for mine. I wasnt a fan of the mesh thats installed in the vents from Seibon anyways, and my car is pretty much just a show car so blocking the heat loss wasnt a concern for me.
