Doesn't get any poorer than this :).

I did the same thing only with shop vac hose and attachments. Nobody even knows what the pieces are from unless I tell them. I tell poeple its the latest "SUPER" ram air system.

hmm... i was doing the !front bumper support mod earlier and went to lowes to get some bracing for the bumper. i've been thinking of how to do this on a camaro that still has the a/c on it?

nice job on it also!

They fit perfectly and that's with the trans cooler in there. They are real light too. They are real snug with the radiator support bolted in, they don't move at all.
