On the idea!

I ordered the aluminum flanges from aircraft spruce, and im goingto use a hole saw to cut a hole in the stock heatshield, rivet them to the back, and hopefully figure out a good way to route the hose to utilize the lower air ducts in the front bumper. I will be sure to do a write up for the project!
