   could you locate the cold air feed in there then.. hidden obviously.. cause heat rises enit .. plus theres a bigger opening for air..

   Yep i did mine myself mate.
   
   Not too bad tbh as long as you know how to us fibreglass and filler and your confident using spray.
   
   I did mine without taking the bumper off the car (because im lazy)
   
   You may struggle getting cold air feed down there though bud. My manifold was in the way and i couldnt get it round my radiator either.
   
   Hope this helps mate. Take a look at my progress thread ive got some pics before during and after.
