How rain worthy are the TTM Scoops?

Thoughts? Has anyone driven in downpours with them? Thanks to jcjmw for the fast shipping btw. Sorry for the washed out cell phone pics.

They were great when I had them on my car.

I'm sure MC and Chuck would agree.

Thanks Jack! I've had my truck engulfed before so submarine is possible. I drive it a little different than the E55 though.

It's a texus truuuuck it's supposed to be able to drive through anything, right? Thanks for your experiences guys.
