Looks very good nice write up
OK so i don't have a inner wheel well liner so i decide to copy the Heat sheild used on short ram intakes, now this could've been done alot better but it didnt matter to me i juss wanted something there.
1. I went to Home depot and brought the air duct aluminum that was already split down the middle. Totally cost 3.79 with tax:
2.Create a template for yourself easier to cut and have guidelines in advance:
3.Take dremel and begin to cut out the template you made for yourself:
4.Should look like this at the end:
5. Now if you really don't care you can slap it on like that, but i don't want mine to be so noticeable so i decide to rattle can it black.Ddidn't cost me anything but i already had the cans laying around:
6. Take the shield you made put the intake inside and bend the tabs along the side like so:
7. Tighten it the intake and shield back on and there you go splash guard for $3.50 :
Looks very good nice write up

looks good..very nice..might try it..
Cool, I love Home Depot.. my friends always joke at me when they have problems or want to do something and they look at my eyes and say" I bet this Guy is gonna say.." Go to home depot.. lol
I'll be doing this soon and will post some follow-up pics..
It looks a little too restrictive. Maybe cut longer mounting ends?
idk bout restrictive but it sure does beat my sri i had. if i had a wheel well liner then i wouldnt have done it but id much rather spend 3.50 and some change than 50 for a new liner. and i didnt know how long to cut the mounting ends never did this before but they could b a bit longer
Very nice! Props! :) Except if you make it a longer, Water might want to just be Forcefully Indcuted on there.... Just a thought lol.
Holy shit dude, NICE

Now u inspired me to do this... :D
I sorta did the same thing except I cut up a old fender wheel liner and wedged it in there. Works great! But good job man, creative simple thinking.
do you feeel like you lost hp with this shield??
maybe the prefileter by injen would work the same?
