The factory covers are metal and even they are not sealed to the bonnet and have an about 8mm gap around their edges to let the heat out.....plus they have a small drain hole to stop a puddle of water forming in them...... so regardless you won't keep the water out.

Ultrex scoop FTW~!
Totaly agree rossco how you get water in there i have no idea,
i have been eyeing off these ultrex scoops.. so far im sold.

If your that worried go back to a stock airbox with a aftermarket
panel filter.
