Default my custom intake yay or nay?

I made my own intake and just wanted a second opinion on whether it looked any good. the funnel is stainless and goes into about a 3 1/2" pipe that goes through my wheel arch plastic then up to sit just below my pod. I want to make some kind of air box for it next. What do you guys think? does the funnel look silly or good?

i think that area would be better suited for a brake duct and not an intake, but all in all, it looks pretty good

IMHO it needs a cover so it doesnt scoop up things like leaves...

I say to get something that has a square end to either match or sit behind that duct, that might make it look better and not so noticable. That might be a better idea but it's gonna be tough to find something that's fit behind that part.
