My friend works at an A/C place and so does air duct. Well he used some of the metal to make me an air box. It came out pretty well and i added the fuel line on the edges to make a better seal. My other friend had left over ceramic paint that he painted it with. What do you guys think? If enough are interested i am sure he would make duplicates.

Very nice, clean. Do you have any other close up pics of different angles? I'm curious how you mated it with the car...

Good job.



I did one just like that out of fiberglass a while back. I see I'm not the only one that thought that retaining the snorkle is a good idea.



Makes a difference for sure. It'll still heat-soak, but it takes a lot longer.



Cheers

I did something very similar, except with sheet aluminum, and I ditched the washer fluid for an enlarged hole and air duct.

Did you also create a bottom plate, or is it just tnree sides?

very nice

Would it have helped to go with another color than black? Help dissapate heat a little better? Just curious really, the difference is probably negligible, but I just don't know...
