Default flipped air filter unit.

im proble going to get rimmed for this one, but here goes, even though im at work and bored i have thought about this before has any body ever thought about cutting the plastic base that the air filter sits on, screws to , cutting it out exactly the size of the raised part of the air filter housing and flipping the whole unit over so that it could enjoy all that fresh air (and forced) like the raditator does . of course there would have to be some other minor mods of course.

Most retailers call it Cold Air Inbduction. It sells for less than $300 through many mail order cat.s. It involves cutting a square hole in the radiator shroud.
I think it looks better than the Forced air kit that uses the front License blate area for fresh air. Sorry, your a day late and a doller short. But keep thinking those good thoughts. :D
