Clean Ram Air for IROC

I have an '88 IROC, see sig. below for more details. I am wanting to do the "free mod" ram air setup on my car. I have seen the article in the tech section and searched thr board for other peoples setups. I am wanting a clean setup. i do not want to use dryer vent hose and do not want it held together with duct tape. I saw an article on one of the boards with a guy using like 5" black piping. Does anyone have any pics of their ram air setup's? Any ideas on how to make this installation as clean and effective as possible. I know no one will see it but I want to be clean. Thanks.

Ramairbox.com only offers stuff if you have a carb or TBI, I have TPI and can not use it. Im sorry if I failed to mention that before. I know there's guys out there who have done this mod on their TPI Camaro's. Im just wanting everyone's ideas before I start cutting away at mine.

I am also interested in doing this on my car, and I have a 305cid TPI engine...

A friend of mine seems to know how to do it, so I'll probably copy him, but before I start taking off plastic parts, I want to know if I will experience any side-effects...like sucking up harmful bits of road debris, rain water etc...

I will post again for you guys when I get some details
