Headlight brake ducts and intake

With some inspiration from sirdaft1 I went ahead and made headlight brake ducts from some broken old halogen headlights. The drivers side also has an intake duct that I'll hook up to a Stett CAI.

The brake duct inlets are pvc reducers and the intake hole is a piece of 6" hvac tube. The brake ducts go through the liners and they clear under full lock, not sure about how they'll do under braking and cornering but we'll find out in the spring.

Not too complicated but it took me two days to get it all set up and sanded down nice.

I'm not expecting a ram air effect, and I know that on a turbocharged car, FMIC>CAI, but I just wanted to try it and I enjoy fabricating this kind of stuff.
