Default SLP lid & filter on the way!!

Well, the parts have been ordered so the commitment has been made. With any luck this will turn out as something that my sheetmetal bud and I can sell a few of. Ofcourse, any hood/radiator support mods will be solely up to the buyer and as all of us know this isn't a direct bolt-on.

I would just like to build something that most guys can take and run with. I understand that alot of folks don't have the facilities to fab up alot of stuff they'd like to so, if it goes well, maybe this will be like a kit that will get most that want to attempt this mod started.

Nice, I'd like to see pics when you are finished. Are you guys going to make the sheet metal induction thingie that pulls in air from the bottom of the car too? Like the one SLP sells...
I am not finicky about doing a little hacking. The radiator support can do just fine with a little material removed.

Yeah, that's in the plans. The ram air setups that I've seen seem to only have a small strip that shoves air into the bottom of the filter, we're gonna try to have the opening to the bottom of the filter as large as possible and maybe a lil bigger opening for the actual scoop as well. If I'm doing this I'm going for the gusto, I want this thing to pull the roadkill off the road, lol!

I'm gonna have to return the coupler that I bought though, I bought a 4x3 so I'm gonna return it.
