Hood vent + rain

Is there something different about the BS or 507 hood and vents? I'm feeling some extra vibration from the throttle when accelerating at low speeds in heavy rain. My first thought was that water was getting on a belt somewhere.

It hasn't been a month yet so I can't paint it. While it's raining, I'm driving the C63 instead of the Ducati so I definitely wouldn't have the time to paint it. I'm actually liking how it looks as is.

It's not that bad. I get to use carpool lanes and split lanes during traffic. That saves me 30 minutes in the afternoon. Plus I get ~48mpg.
