Ha, I'm just poking fun, I know you put a lot of thought into what you do, and it shows in your work. Going completely out on a limb and doing stuff that hasn't been done before just comes with its own set of speed bumps.
I will say, there is sometimes an attitude of elitism with engineers, and I get annoyed with it. Just because I took calculus in college doesn't make me a better fabricator than the next dude with an angle grinder in his hands. You learn this stuff by doing, and I would still consider myself very much a novice.
Edit: oh and, the poly pieces are really intended to be nothing more than baffles- deflectors to direct the majority of water flow out and around the hood holes. I imagine if I were to get into a typhoon rainfall or take the car through one of those high pressure touchless car washes, some amount of water is going to make its way into the engine bay.
