[DeTomaso] Cold air inlet idea

 Personally I like the idea of making the gills functional and adding some kind of scoop to get into the air stream:




Trying to blend into the body behind the scoops as much as possible, 3 inches looks feasible without spoiling the styling.

   If that worked it would be a downforce adder too.

    get a ton of p
    ressure, but should be something far better than the vacuum and heat
    of the orig
    inal air filter position.A  That and it would look more OEM from the
    outside of t
    he car...I like sleepers...
