C-West style bumper intake mod. with just sheet metal. DIY.

Here's a knock off C-West style cold air intake. Made out of sheet metal from Home Depot. Cutting the bumper is required. Ouch! And the outline red is done with the use of those vinyl door protector from Pep boys.

I also noticed that the filter gets dirty. That means cold air is really coming in.
