Um, mabye it is just me, but I can't see any pics! Aluminum sheeting might still be too thin to keep out the heat! But just cover it w/ aluminum flashing, and it will probally work really well!

you need to mount the AFM the stock way. you can't turn it sideways. also be cafefull with your rad. it's not going to last much longer. brown = bad.

Question glass

would plaxey glass be a good thing to use for a cold air box. also i notice theirs not a ram air hole, can i just add a hose from the bottom spoiler going into the air box, so it gets some air?

I'm not so sure on plexi glass, but I really like the idea! That would look really trick! About the ram air, I have seen this done using anything from dryer ducting to PVC pipe, It just depends to your taste! And yes, the ram air is possible! Just be creative and take some time to see what looks/works best for you! I am currently attempting a system using both FTP lenses hollowed out and a custom, totally sealed cold air box! It should look awesome!
