I don't have one but I do have the 6" hole saw you will need to install one. The directions call for a 5 & 1/2 inch hole saw... I couldn't find one 12 years ago when I installed mine. Let me know if you want it.

Ive been trying to get in touch with Brett(VetteDaddy) for several months now concerning the front filler plate. He bought up all the remaining kits a/o engineering had and was going to start making reproduction ones. Ive sent a few PM's to him concerning them, but have never heard back. I know hes very active on here, but not sure why no reply...? I can speak for the quality of his parts as I bought a set of the 96 GS rear fender flares and they were spot on and of great quality. So long story short, not sure if he scrapped the plans on the a/o kit or what the status is as its been a couple years now...Maybe you could try to PM him?

Don't expect any power increase from the AO ram air set up. Chassis dyno with fan proven. Look cool yes , power loss yes.

Yea, Im aware there is no HP gains, but Ive always liked the way they look. To be honest, I could give a crap less about having the box and hosing...I just want the license vent

When you say "power loss" does that mean the stock housing and filter work better than the A / O setup?

Based on the path of the airflow through the system it does appear to be to indirect to be efficient. Said another way the flow path isn't straight enough.
