Are they not Running top mount ICs , and most likely use their factory spray? Ever put a pyrometer on your IC? i have. top mount + spray = amazing. at autoX where the speeds are low i get like a 30-40F drop if i spray versus no spray. and i've had my motor running well above the normal temp range and wedge a quarter for a lap and watched the engine temp drop all the way down the bottom of the normal range... (@ RFR) So really i don't get what you are trying to point out.
really though maybe highlight what you are talking about cause i don't see it and it does sound interesting to check out.

See if you can follow along at home.
Hello, I'm awesome JDM tuner man! I have an s202 STi! I'm going to put this sweet carbon fiber hood on my awesome car. But I'm not going to bother to notice that there's a heat extractor on it that might block the air to my intercooler, or worse, will feed hot air from my radiator right into the hoodscoop for my top mount. Hey, how come ever since I put this sweet hood on my car, everything seems to run hot? I better cut my front bumper up and move my license plate off to the side to try to get more air to the radiator, that should help!
Get it now? The hood could be making the car run hot, so he cut out the bumper, rather than get a proper hood or go back to the stock one. Or maybe he just wants to show off that oil cooler. Who knows, I was just pointing out the possibility of irony.
Now, how you got going about water spray is beyond me. Whether or not it helps that poor schmuck is secondary to the fact that proper air to the intercooler will work even better. OMG, what if he ran waterspray AND had air blowing over the intercooler!?!? By your logic, you might as well just ditch the hood scoop for aero reasons and just run waterspray on it alone, because as you're implying the waterspray works independently of proper airflow... or perhaps you should consider that the waterspray might only work well with proper airflow.
