Default Plexiglass intake??

Has anyone tried this on a lsx motor including the individual throttle bodies. I found this and it struck my interest.

That's just an air box. There are clear lids available for our cars.

Didn't sound that great either. As far as the intake seems kinda pointless as there's not really anything to see in there, but hey, it's different.

As for looks, there really isn't much to see, originality is a plus, performance -wise, I see no gains.
