Looks good.....
Im in the process of fabricating one myself, using electrical actuators to open and close the license plate cover depending on throttle application
Heres what it looks like so far....

My Corvette expert told me not to waste my money; that they did little if anything to raise performance. I know all about cold air's effect on power and will probably raise some hackles when I tell you that:
My car spins the 335x17 rear tires in 2nd by mere throttle application. The 409 inhales through a 52mm BBK throttle body, fed by a stock intake that has NOT been cut open or modified in any way. Why on earth would a fairly stock 350 need mods to the intake ducting?

I don't think you are getting more hp from the added air unless the stock setup was restricted or not flowing enough air to feed the motor.Now getting more hp from cooler air and/or a direct flowing charge of cooler air that is another story.
