I just read 1 but i think it was in the DIY section...damn shouldnt have closed it !

Also i think u can buy sheets of metal/aluminum from bunninngs.

Goto a metal fabricator and ask if they have any 1mm/ 1.2mm 1000 x 1000 offcuts (you wont need that much material). If they do you are likely to get it cheaper than anywhere else and they might even cut it to size for you. My suggestion for you is to make one from cardboard first, then you will have an adequate template and an approximate cut size.

Cheap aluminum from Paramount Browns (Dry Creek)

I have purchased a cold air box you could use as a template (its on the car though)

thx kisin.

i made a design out of cardboard, the 1 thing that i found while trying to copy some designs is that the space where your airbox should go is alot smaller on the R32 then R33... obvioulsy lol.

i got some pics of it ill post em later on today
