I am doing a little project for a RAM for e60 
The mats:
- Anti Rust Aerosol Paint (I choose Light Blue color, too many redm yellow, Black, White.... )
- Metal Scissor
- 3 Stainless Screws with rings.
- 1 Top Take Off 4" (Home Depot)
- Gloves Latex
the mats
Do the measurement (Sorry I missed to take the marks to cut the duct)
After the measurement, cut the duct with a metal scissor:
Accommodate and fit.... and put the screws.
The painting....
FINAL:
Maybe it is a bit big. It is totally reversible if you don't like it...... Well, it is a Homemade!!!

i would be very careful, last i heard Eloy w/RPI has a patent pending on the scoop. not quite sure how it pertains to your model. I'm no lawyer, but just giving you a heads up.

Don't forget the judicious use of Duct tape on your homegrown scoop!
