As odd as this sounds, I'd love a CF air intake bottom half. I'd like to retain everything about the upper half (especially to pass a quick visual inspection), but have the bottom half accept a k&n and be lower-profile to allow for the radiator fans to flow more easily. A rectangular feed tube, running the length of the k&n filter (or as long as possible) which fits down beside the radiator to allow for higher and cooler air flow, angled such that the lowest part is toward the rear of the car, and it forms a pseudo ram-air effect. I guess it would slope at a similar angle to the radiator? The bottom shape (if looking from the front bumper), ideally, would be like a Y so that the rectangular tube can evenly distribute across the filter, while still allowing more room for the radiator air flow.
I'm not sure if the Fluidyne radiator is wider than the stock one, but I'm hoping it's not, because that's what I have.

no pricing yet but will be affordable, for this would you guys be interested in fiberglass version but wrap in carbon interior fabric? It will be cheaper and i think the carbon fabric feels/looks better for interior parts.
This is what im talking about.

I think its a waste to use real carbon to make interior pieces.
Also the carbon gets scratch easier compared to the interior fabric.

I'm only interested in new pieces to replace the oem junkers I have now.

An 84-85 Blanked center console piece or one with atleast the top 3 holes and vents [without the shutters] would be absolutely awesome as replacements cost an arm and a leg and would allow for gauge and possibly aftermarket radio install easier.

Can't seem to edit but ment to add basically keep everything from the 3 holes up as that middle space is for the air con controls but from the three holes down would be awesome blank.
