I am making a cover/box for the intake manifold that covers the TB and UIM, it also has a place to attach 3"O.D. piping for cold air routing to cool the TB and intake.
Cold air would come via a duct next to the battery tray, between the radiator support and drivers side headlight.

Already have a working Cold air/ram box with 1.. 4" O.D. flex pipe and a 3" O.D. flex pipe, underneath the 4" piping, between the radiator support and headlight mounting points.

Its not always the best idea to post up pictures, before your ready to market it and sell it..Other people will steal your ideas...I have had it happen before, to me.

My future projects: things i all ways wanted on my FC

I'm planning on trying to make a fiberglass Driver side A-piller with 3 gauge pockets molded into it. No more need for screws.

A fiberglass headliner for S4 and S5 (with/without power seat belts)

A dual sub enclosure that fits in the storage compartment that will allow you to close the lid and not get any rattle from the bass. This will also be fiberglass.

A fan shroud that allows better air flow for E- fans.

A fiberglass or Aluminum custom dash cluster. this will allow you to put your own gauges in it. such as tack, speedo, and so on

Aluminum Under Tray Update:

We've sort of hit a wall in the design process of these under trays. In terms of the mounting points where the tray will bolt up to, we can only design it so the front part of the tray would be able to mount up to a stock front bumper. People with aftermarket front bumper replacements would be out of luck with this product. However, we're working on a way to make it completely universal no matter what front kit you have, so stay tuned for more info.
