Keep an eye out for small plastic buckets with lids, similar to the standard 5 gallon bucket. Something around 2 gal would probably work. The curved surface may prove difficult to mount your inlets, but you should be able to get the filter-to-MAF section through one end snugly. I've given a little thought to doing something similar to my AEM SRI, but haven't spent any time on it.

You still may have trouble getting fresh air to the airbox without a convoluted inlet tract. Cowl induction is the obvious route, but I understand your reluctance to carve up your car. If I ever go that route, I'll pick up a second set of parts so I can always go back to stock.
