Just thinkin it would be sweet...

So When i installed my Cool Ram intake from Hahn i noticed how the filter basically is right behing the fog light. well i was thinking the other day that i might take the passenger foglight out when i got to the strip to get a like "ram air effect". then i also got to thinking and thought wouldnt it be sweet if a company made a carbon fiber insert to replace the fog light and hook up to the Hahn intake with like a filterbuitl into the carbonfiber peice... i know that sounds confusing. and i dont have photoshop to make a detailed pic so you kinda have to imagine. lmao!! just thought id throw that out there...

If you put a baffle into the ram air intake you can drive when it rains out. Just watch out for standing water.

Besides, you wont get any ram air effect. You need to be going 200+ mph to get a true ram air effect.

It might even flow less air - that hole is fairly small.
