That is impressive, nice skills and appearance. I have thought of the same thing sort of, except I pictured them extruding upward rather than being inset. I think I like the inset better.

Looks good! If they're to be functional, please post the amount of pressure you get at various speeds if you get a chance.

So so clean. I love this mod, functional or not. It appears they align really well with the fangs, making them fit in really nice.
Thanks for posting!

Thanks all!
Yes, eventually they will be plumbed into the airbox, but right now I'm out of budget $ and time.
As for the ebay question... no, these are 100% hand made. I started it by designing the shape on Adobe Illustrator. Then measured the insert for placement. Then, cut out the insert, cut the sheet metal hood below the insert, and used the cutout pieces as the "trays" for the ducts. From there, fiberglass and body filler went into play...
16 hours later...
They are done!
Only one thing I'm going to fix... I added a mesh screen. I don't like it though. It's used to cover up the bare sheet metal and hood structural supports. So, I'm going to cut the hood about 5 inches more toward the interior so that none of that will be seen, and I wont need a screen.
Oh... an for the request for pressures... Dude, I'm a jack-of-all-trades, but not a windtunnel expert! LOL I wish I could help with that info. It would be useful I'm sure.
Thanks!

I was thinking a chunk of sponge or high density foam cut to fit (HAS to be black, of course), would slow it down to a drip on those rainy days & keep out most of the cold air during the frigid winters we experience way up nort.Originally Posted by Triathlete
Awesome! The mod looks real nice... It never rains in AZ or in Nevada... LOL!
