DIY Air Intake

[ViewAskew]

Decided to make my own intake with my son because he was bored and is getting into working on cars now. I had some stuff lying around from an intake I was going to build for an Eclipse several years ago. I know this won't do anything but it was fun to screw around with my son.

Modified the stock air box bracket. Trimmed it to clear my new "box" and can still put the stock one back on.
