Anyone build there own parts from scratch?

[Uncle_Unix]

Well do you?

I like to make my own stuff whenever possible. Understandable we have more resources then most but everyone has to start somewhere

Post of things you made yourself for your car, share with others:idea:

I'm currently in progress of building sort of a air-routing scoop to go behind the bottom grille on my '08 tC. making it out of aluminum duct tubing and aluminum sheeting, probably gonna powder coat it before I assemble it all together though. I have corner fog lights and a CAI, so I feel the CAI could get a lot more air with a scoop routing the air to it (seeing as the CAIs extend down the side of the fender. The area where the intake is will be sorta boxed off with an aluminum sheet and the output end of the tube running through it to deliver air. Lastly, the input end of the tube will have a mesh grille spread across it to prevent foreign objects from flying in. Then all will be clamped and supported by a few homemade brackets. Will post pics when I finish it (which should be within the next couple weeks)

Very cool stuff, custom made score big points with the judges

Wow Russell that looks great! Props to you on that.

Kamaran, yea I need to make a shield for my intake filter, I have a CAI with no fender liners and that became an issue on my last trip back from Los Angeles last month when it was raining. But I still haven't figured out how I want to do it or even how I should attempt it.

Thank you. I still have to make the right side cover. In due time.

Have you looked into those hydro shields that is like a bag that goes over the filter? It helps repel water

Its not much but I made a billet grille for the kaminari bumper. I also built some extra supports for it since its heavier then the stock one. Next I will be making a skid plate/air splitter for the bottom
