So I met up with a guy on this forum and checked out a few things on his ride, damn clean ride. I was wanting to get the aFe air intake and rpi ram air scoop that plenty of members here have and suggest. After looking at the scoop I figured it wasn't that hard of a project to tackle so today with the long weekend I took a couple hours and put one together. Has a couple of inperfection but I can live with it for less than $20 of materials.

Again, OP I love the ingenuity you exhibited here. Keep it up & think outside the box esp since you've shown here that you can create things that look clean & professional
