Here's a better one. 1" radii on the front. Would be able to be all 1 piece, except the side tabs- they'd have to be welded on. It's actually narrower in the back. Take a piece of 12x18 material, mark off 11.5" front to back, and 3" in from each side. Take a 1" round solid item, and radius the edges over it. Then cut from 1.5" below the front to where the back edge just starts to radius. Should be 12" wide at front and 10.5" wide at back. then flange the back, weld on the side tabs, and rivet the tabs to the hood.

you have a point. I'd still have to "build" an air cleaner tray. and 70 bucks is 70 bucks...and I'm at college with no job... Bad enough SCCA's sucked $250 of mine so far.

Here's the other thing. I'm trying to stay in the H STOCK class. Which means, if they can't tell it aint stock, it must be stock. A hood scoop, i'm pretty sure, would put me in H prepared- which would make me look slower than I am.

TBH, the redneck CAI may not even be worth it. a K&N one only add numbers, not feel, so a redneck version might be negative. So maybe i wont do it.

But TB would still look very stock, and add feel and numbers.

those only look good if you mold them into the hood or hide the lines from where they are noticable from being "not actually apart of the actauly hood"
