Thanks Rai!
I made 2 more versions based of rais.
There is this one that follows the lines of the upper and lower line of the front bumper. I like it the best and think I'll do it if I go fourth with this idea.
Then this one that follows the top line and the bottom cut is a straight line.

I'm going to have to agree, those kids look 12, and retarded. And sadly, they're not highwaters, they're ... um ... What do you people call excessively baggy to the point you look like a fool? Anyways, that's what they are 
The FMIC cutout is too Camaroish as also stated. I've seen the Camaro with that setup and it does look nice, but I can't see it working all that well on a Firebird.
Now, if you want to leave it as a T/A bumper and use the foglight holes as inlets with cones behind and work something like that, but that'd be a lot of plumbing for 2 cones into 1 pipe (assuming single turbo, your sig image is VERY confusing).

let me break it down for ya.
[Big snail that goes whooshhhhh.] *2 [Times 2, think back to grade school, I know it's easier for me
since I'm only 12.)
+LT1 [Plus that motor GM put in F bodies from 93-97.]
-Optispark [Minus that pesky PCM controlled distributor.]
+
[Plus one Edlebrock performer carb.]= [Equals]
[****, you might not be familiar with them. And by **** I mean 2 turbos, an LT1, no optispark, and a Edelbrock carb if you didn't catch on yet.]It's a simple math equation.

This would work well if you could adapt it to fit the 93-97 front clip.
...and if you are as big of a fukk as the guy that raped the **** out of that TA.

Doesn't matter I guess, since you most likely run through one IC instead of 2. If you do run twin FMIC, then the dual-cone filter option wouldn't be as hard.And sorry, you look more 16

I have an IQ Certificate showing that I scored 139. And that's not 139 for a 6yr old, since the tests differ vastly for different age groups. And, I was never judging his intelligence, just looks.
But friends have to stick up for friends, and I understand that. Wouldn't be much of a friend if you didn't!
hahaha

:JEST: That's hilarious.
and still, I stick to my "Cones behind the fogs" idea. Kinda like the 3rd Gen Camaros "Ram Air" mod, if that helps give a better mental picture. I don't mean have the cones "clear as day" where the fogs should be, god that'd be fugly, and very ricer haha

The cone Idea would be nifty but in the end it will be more unnecessary work and weight without lowering IATs. I will just run a 90 degree elbow down to where CAIs have there filters for both turbos. It will be like less than a foot 1/2 of tubing to do that.

Get creative heh. This guy with a drag setup (yet still streetable) GN used a 5-Gallon Tupperware garbage can/basket (the rectangle style) as a FMIC scoop under the front bumper. If you didn't look really hard at the bottom of the scoop, to read Tupperware, you'd never have guessed. Fit the car just slicker than **** too lol But, alas, ours are a bit too round for such a goofy mod.
(BTW, as redneck as it was, this car ran really low 9s)
EDIT: I got really bored (yea, REALLY bored) and conjured this up for you. Use it, don't, I don't care lol 2 sizes even.

Fugg you fool after tearing down the heads the other day I found that those are cheap chinese two piece valves the machine shop put in there. Sweet!
I dunno about the bumper, the last pic looks the best of them if you do it like that.
This would work well if you could adapt it to fit the 93-97 front clip.
...and if you are as big of a fukk as the guy that raped the **** out of that TA.
