Yeh, I'd consider buying a kit from you, when the time comes, if it included a nice air intake system.

Do one of those drag race funnels in the bumper, like this:





But more like this, just not in a grille:

Must be a better design than those examples in my opinion.
I'm sure you'll work it out so that it is functional and aesthetically pleasing.

nice job sqrivi! but im curious why you deleted the 2 bumper protrusions that are built into the bumper? the ones that close the gap on either side of the chrome hood grill where the grill meets the bumper ?

Driver's side corner reminds me of this...see the resemblance? Give the Riv a big old smile!

It is early in the process. They have not been deleted, they are just not there yet. When it is done everything will have a nice tight fit.

I like what you're doing with your car.

I dont like the big scoop on the hood or the other intakes. Part of the attraction of the Riviera's design is how clean it is. Everything else that is being done to this car is cleaning it up further.

If I do any form of intake it will be clean.

I may want a set as well. I am highly intrigued. I'm uncertain about what the front will end up looking like. Someone earlier - I think Corey - designed this front bumper in Photoshop:



Maybe you could do it like that.
