Yeah I will ship anywhere and would anyone be interested in anything else done with metal fab cause im in Tech school and have plenty of time for projects and all the tools and materials you could think of... I made some block off plates and a turbo exhuast exhuast flange last week... used the plasma cutter for the flange then ground out the rough edges came out damn nice... may be buildin a custom turbo exhaust manifold for friends race car soon... but next week I will start planning and buildingthe box and post pics and if anyone wants one I will probly sell them cheap

Hell yeah i need a cold air box.
I have an 88 TII with way to much heat under the hood. Its funny cuz all the ppl that ive seen make these cold air boxes only make them for themselves!
Damn selfish ppl in here!! j/k
Well anyway you would have to make one of these first and post VERY detialed pics of the design and we'll let you know!
Goodluck

I will be interested if you have the "ram air" and you could sell em on ebay too. I bet the S5 & S4 are the same. Other than the front bumper their body frame is basically the same. What a gold mine

Well what does everyone think of the price of 40 shipped I think I may have to change the price for shipping in some cases... but I do think its fairly cheap and im not sure where I could get a ram air effect from without drilling a hole into the engine bay anyone have ideas

Great. From what I've seen in the past, ~40 is great.
