Default Cold Air Intake (Homemade)

A number of regular and Z06 owners expressed an interest in a cold air intake. Some commercial units are available. I decided to share my construction, and also include a useful air diverter. You need an air diverter because otherwise the air will pass right by the vertical opening behind the grill.

Here is the diverter cut from plexiglass, which I like because it is transparent and easy to work with:

The modified fascia extension:

Finished product enhancing the appearance.

If these photos did not show up, I read the instructions, but it did not work for me, I'll then try again.

You have to host them at another site, then link them! See sticky at top of page.

Nice project taking a couple of hours. I think I got tinypic.com straight now. If not, I'll try again.

I also cutout the nose vent and installed the mesh there. It is black, though. Today I'll work on the side vents if I can figure out how to get at them.
