I want to do it, but I'm concerned how it will effect my cooling and A/C operation. I have a black plastic "scoop" covering that area of my car, not to mention the windsheild washer tank (which I can ditch). Doesn't removing the black plastic shrouding reduce airflow over the radiator and condenser?

I just made one like sux2bu has only thing is I did not cut the support just is close to the radiator about 1/2" away.Will this be okay ?Or do I have to cut the support?So it sits further from the radiator.

SUX2BU has the Mike Hoffpauir mod. I miss him posting his old cam only times,that car is still impressive to this very date for what all it had.
I thought about doing the same thing and dumping the fast toys setup.

So after reading this I got inspired. I used 4" pcv elbows from Home Depot and routed them from the foglight holes then I used a transition piece that squares it off and I ran, I'm embarrased to say, gutter drain up to the back of the airbox. I think it looks good, up to the gutter drain part
but I didn't have to cut the car up in any way and the gutter drain really fits well between the radiator-trans cooler and the frame support. Maybe I'll wrap the gutter drain part in heat wrap or something so you can't tell what it is.
