Why thank you its been a fun little project.. I agree where you catch air you catch bugs and leaves i might put a little screen in the end of the hose to catch big particals at least.

I'm surprised Evasive hasn't chimed in this thread to shed some light and pictures to help other members.

Well there design is rather simple, they just cut out the lense and the high beam and called it a day. We are interested in closing it off with a tube like duct. An example would be the evo light above

What kind of ideas does everyone have on the tube or duct running through the headlight. I just bought a section of 3" I.D. x 3.25" O.D. plastic tubing. I was just thinking of ways to finish the end of it off making it look realy nice, I sketched this up quick to give everyone a better idea of how i will go about doing this. I was origionally planning on removing the lense but i rather not create more nerve racking work. Is the reflective piece around the high beam glued in or something?

If i could find something similar to that evo headlight duct that would be great its just that our headlight isnt as flat. It has quite a compound angle.

Anyone have any good ideas for brake duct scoops? I plan on puting them behind the bumper. The openings are roughly 2.5" x 5.5" My duct hose is 3".

Well i purchased a 4 foot ABS tube from an online audio store the details stated 3" OD but it came to me as 3.38" OD or maybe i didnt read it correctly, anyhow i think its a little to big for the scoop for the headlight so i will continue to search. I think 3" OD is the biggest id like to go. I would like to find a scoop similar to the evo headlight but have not been succesful with that either.

Any ideas or opinions would be great thanks!
