    It's so amazing that the hood fits! I wonder if you did away with the factory air box, and could find 1 maybe 2 small air filter to mount on the throttle body?? Like something off a Harley? Like this? Either way, it's still awesome!!

    I had thought about a bunch of differant ways to go as far as the air filter/filters couldnt make my mind up that's why I ended up using the factory box:)

    now that you took an inch out of the scoop, i think it really goes with the body lines better. great look!
