an easy way to do it is instead of using one piece of carboard..use 2 or 3 or 4..then tape them togethor and stencil it onto the sheet of aluminum. but yea ill see what i can do about the measurements

Yeah, but I pointed out that the airflow for the stock snorkel comes from the sides by the headlights. From your pic, it looks like those areas are completely covered now, since the panel is flush with the lights. You might want to shorten each end by an inch or two to make sure you're not going to choke the engine.
Sweetness..I have a sheet of carbon fiber that I'm gonna use to make one of those. A good material for templates is cardboard used to shim drywall, it's cheap and can be had at most hardware stores.

Yeah, I took a look at the picture corksport has on their site. The difference is what you brought up in your other post: their picture shows a car without the stock snorkel. It'd be an easy change, and it wouldn't hurt the look at all.

I did the exact same thing..aluminum was 8 bucks.I got enough left over to make another one.
The only regret I have is that I made it with THICK aluminum and it was a real DOGG to cut.I went through Tons of Dremel bits.
But after all was said and Done,I like it and wouldn't change it at all...So GOOD Job, MDD!!

there is a plastic piece that sits below it. if you look at the hood, there is a rubber piece that seals off this area so air flows from your bumper before the radiator, up, and over the radiator and into the snorkel. its ok. just cut a square piece out.
