#43
pretty cool idea. does anyone know how much heat that it actually holds in. i know you guys have that problem with the emblem melting. my dads 03 altima hasnt had a problem as far as the cover is concerned. but still this is pretty cool man. nice job.

Ok, I guess it's time to lay this project to rest finally. I didn't want to start a new thread, when I've already got this one going. Sorry to keep you guys waiting. Along with waiting for my emblem to come in and life being in the way I found some time to pickup some mesh and finish this up. I will have more pics of it on the car when it is daylight. Hopefully that will be in a few days.
I think it came out better than I expected, but I'll let you guys decide the verdict on that one. I took my sweet time on this cause it was for myself, and I knew it wasn't going anywhere. For me to do this for others, I'd have to consider if it's worth it seeing how much time it took to do. At anyrate, I'll stop talking and let you guys see it for yourself. Can't wait to get pics of it on the car.

Hey that looks real good. Not sure about how functional it is, but hey, who cares, it looks good. I like the wire mesh it needed that. How about the same idea, but putting a gill type design. I'll give a better example. Like the vents in your house for the AC, and heat. This way when looking at it straight on it looks solid, but heat will come out the vent just the same. You could in fact do a number of designs with this.

Thanks for all the kind words, it makes all the work worth while!
makavelisk - It's actually just a plain ole Proline Filter. That airbox might change here before too long. Just have to do some additional testing.

These two were not as effective.
Drill - Different Bits
Saw Blade - Didn't last too long
These two worked the best, and should have been the only tools used.
Dremel - Assortment of attachments required to shape, form, and smooth.
Sand Paper - Different grits

O, and I'll take the credit since I sweat over this ish making it.
Stay tuned, within the next month or so, I'm releasing another look/design that will be going in. More detail and time have been put into this one.
Glad you're still enjoying it Jason!
