Soaking in the rain?
Do you think it can cause damage to the engine if parking the car outside on a rainy day? It seems that water may be able to run into the engine through the air vents on the rear wing.

I wouldn't worry about about water going into your engine, unless your car was submerged. 
If it will enter anywhere, it will be in the airbox, but not likely you will hydro-lock your engine because of it.

I read a lot of threads where people say they have not let their car get wet. It's not a live animal -- IT IS A CAR! I promise you it can get wet and survive.

Are you serious?
Dude drive my 997 everyday in the rain(Seattle, we had a record 25 days of rain in January) always parked outside. If it got water in it we would have a big issue here in the Northwest

Front end
Yup it scrapes every day. And you have to watch out that you do not pull all the way up to parking blocks. It Looks great and handles great but it is a little to low for the street. They are the H&R sports springs
