Default c5 air intake on lt1 vette

This is the first stage off my mod, fit and trim...tommorow i am going to clean the edges and put some kind of rubber mold around it. then hood does close but kind of have to let it fall from a little higher the normal. I think after little more trimming it will fit just fine.

here are the pics...

the intake

Should work good, but seriously WTF did you use to cut with a spoon? Some blue tape and a dremel with a cut off wheel and it would look a million times better.

On the other hand Im sure it will look great when you are done and good to see you modding it!
