Yea.. as NZ said, if you really want the look, i would cut one into a stock 951 headlight cover. They are easy to find. The problem with doing it this way is you need to be precise in your measurements and design of the scoop. You really need to pay attention to the width / depth ratio, ramp angle and the angle of the walls. Otherwise your going to create alot more drag than what its worth to feed cooler air in and its not going to be very efficient.

If you look around on Google there are alot of plans and schematics (mostly diagrams) on what sorta dimensions you want. The other option is to buy a pre-made one and graft it into the stock cover.

I like the idea of mounting a duct into the housing for the fog lights, running your hoses to the brake duct plates for the rotors. Then you can remove the fogs on the track and have functional ducts. i didnt click on any of the links posted in this post, but I remember reading a great write-up on it.

EDIT: didnt see this was for a MAF duct, not brakes.....

Definitely cooking some rice if you run it on your car IMHO

I dont like it as a headlight duct, but I like it as part of the nose panel. But the NACA ducts are much deeper on the full nose. Granted, lots of people hate the pig nose and headlights on my car so *shrug*

It would look better and be more functional as one large NACA duct connected to a hose ported into a cold air box. The two small ducts do look kinda ricey.

I had one a long time ago. Gave it to my bodyshop to fit it, they laughed at me and told me to throw it out. That's what I ended up doing because I couldn't sell it.
