DIY Ram air intake (WIP)

Excuse my ignorance, but what is holding the scoop on? If its just the bondo coat holding it on, that is not going to work. If you've ever seen some of the people putting a fiberglass scoop on a metal hood with bondo- the bondo will crack, and all its gonna take is a hairline crack plus highway speeds, and that thing is gonna be gone (hopefully it doesn't hurt anybody in the process).
Realistically, at a minimum I would epoxy the fiberglass scoop to the hood- many people rivet them on and bondo over the rivets- or I would use sheet metal screws through the fiberglass. Its one thing if it flies off your car and breaks your window (which I kinda doubt it would, looks like its pretty light)- its another if it hits someone elses car and injures them, or causes a serious accident from them trying to avoid it.
-edit, I do apologize if you attached it with something other than just bondo like I thought.

that might look better painted, all we can hope is that its functional. why would you paint your dash, to match your black and white gucchi camo fit.
