Thank you Bill, I appreciate the aknowledgement. To be honest, I like making/fabricating things. It keeps my mind thinking. I like the idea of the Ram-air intakes thus far that you and I, as well as others, have bounced around. My main problem is I don't know if I want to cut the metal shelf on the car. I might end up doing so, but to be honest its the best way to go because of how our intake is set up.
Our intake is a vital part of our car, and unfortunately, it's also the least developed product offered for car. I keep tossing ideas in my head about how to go about this enclosure. It's not easy but then again nothing is. I'm trying to think of a way to have a ram-air effect but not go through the cowl, even though its the best way, some of us are unable to go that extreme. I'll be playing around with cardboard to mock some parts up, then I'll keep it going with the aluminum/steel sheet. I might find a plastic spray to spray the box on the outside with to help withstand the heat our engine bays withstand.
As for CF sheets, I have never worked with them. I haven't even looked into it, but I would like to do so, I think it would be awesome. Any advice/info on how to do so?
