    that would look horrible trying to cut the metal and fab up the airbox and lid into it. It is not made to be modified like that. If someone wants the chrome/shiny look with a lid, maybe try that new chrome paint process that looks just like chrome on the lower airbox assembly

      Re: upper radiator support

      My firebird is a 99'...Why would the lid be better?I understand it is a straight shot into the airbox.But it really isn't unless you have the ram air hood as well. Not only that, the air from underneath the car would be colder than the air that comes from inside the air box????? My air box was always hot from being inside the engine bay. Anyone have any proof or evidence? or interested in testing??Thanks

        I know you want to keep something over the radiator support so the fans can pull the colder air through the radiator, so it will cool the car better.

          Well I have my fans and such supported right now.. but I was going to buy the stainless support for show quality.My ? is what setup is really better for performance? The C.A.I drawing air from underneath? Or is an airbox set up the way to go? I've seen short ram filter set ups without the airbox at all?

              if the car is a lid setup car, then a whisper lid and smooth bellows is the best. If it is an angled tb car then the fender intake is the best
