i want one so that i can make it into a ram air intake. i was either gonna do this or make a true cai which is a paint in the butt. i want the headlight cover to have an attachment (piping) which will go over the filter on a short ram setup and seal off behind the filter. i am thinking this will work like a small ram air when you are driving and also the intake will pull air through the headlight cover only and not the hot engine bay. do you think this will work?

they aren't big enough to have rammed air, mainly cool the air a little going into the intake

So 86GKL, you said you were working on a different style for the headlights covers. Do you have any pictures of the new style as I'm looking for a headlight covers and would love to see your new design.

yeah i think im gonna get a light cover and cut 1 up and try and make something also

or another idea for a "ram air" type of idea, is to remove ur windshield washer tank, cut a hole and route some pipe to the hole in the front of the car that is for the "brake cooling duct"
