I am building my own. Using two 3.75" diameter k&n filters with 2.5" flanges, the should stack nicely between the firewall/headlight and the I/C (there's a 4" gap) and then I'm going to construct an airbox around them that draws from the gap in the radiator. Will post more when it's completed. FYI the filters I'm using are:

I should mention that I did not mount the I/C using the pipes it came with so my positioning might be somewhat different from yours.

I'm using the Greddy intakes with it. It's a tight squeeze, but with a little work it's fine. Most of the intake kits for the FD are really bulky and are designed for use with the tiny stock IC. If you wanna save space, you can't beat a custom K&N setup.

I just went with polished hard pipes and autozone filters. Looks good, works good, fitment is fine.

The only thing I am worried about is the diverter valve hose and the other hoses that go to the stock are box. Did you just block them off or did you reroute them?

all the other misc hoses, air pump, crv, bov, ect should have independent filters. you could re plumb them into the custom pipes but i think its cleaner and easier just using mini filters.
