Fog Light Ram Air Induction?

Friend of mine gave me an idea the other day. Is it possible to rip out the fog lights ( Which dont work anyway) and make Ram Air scoops in place of them? Buy a tube that angled down from the Throttle Body and stick the scoops in the fog light areas. This is on the 91-92 Firebird Nose. Place screens over the scoops and walllaaa.. Where could the filter be put?

Since there is no MAF on the car, thats a good thing. Where can the air filter be mounted?

One of the sites above had that contraption made where you could buy it.

Thus assuming you have the LB8/TPI camaro intake.

Could always make a box to put in the nose for one of those flat filters. Just weld a metal box together that would mount one of those filters, both fog light go right into that then out that through a filter into whatever runs into the intake. Only thing is getting around the rad without bending, twisting, turning a crap load thus slowing down your air intake....suppose if it's ram air it wouldn't matter that much though.

You cant show it all the time. You have to check the "Show Signature" box below where you type your shiz.
