Don't you love making things or installing things yourself! It's the most rewarding part of modifying a car, I reckon. Good job. I assume you will keep us posted on the progress, and if there's any kw gain to be had.

Looking good there. I do this type of stuff everyday. Using Fibreglass, carbon fibre and kevlar to make stuff. It is rewarding. Keep us updated Qwik.

Very impressive, keep it up. Nothing quite like doing it yourself and getting a measurable improvement

if you look in the second pic on the top, you can see a hole near the end of the filter that is for headlight access. Im going to duct it from there, and from half the grille too by taking out a little plastic divider.
