Default intake box

I thought that i would make a better one while i am buildin my motor. I had the k&n one but did not like the way it looked and the fact that it is to easy to get the hot air from the engine bay into the filter. I also wanted to help get air to the filter so i modified the light braket and the inside of the fender. I also have a rubber seal for the top of it to seal up with the hood. Also when i pull the head light out there is lotes of air that can get to the filter. What do you guys think?

I took my factory air box a put about a 3x5 opening in the bottom so that the air coming through the headlamp area and from under the front bumper would be deflected in by the wheel wells.

i thought about doing that when i had the facktory box when i had it. but i removed the wheel wells to make room for my tires. i sealed off from the bottom so that mud and water dont get to the filter scence it is lifted and i romp the **** out of it.
