    Looks sharp. A couple of questions/observations though... Is there any interference with the driver door? It looks just a wee bit short - does the intake get in the line of sight in the upper left? I'm thinking intersections. Lastly, could you turn the intake around to face backwards and take a few more shots?

    No interference with the door, the Amigo must have an identical door frame. I haven't noticed it blocking the windshield, I'll let you know if I have issues.

    I might be able to take some pics for you. I know what you mean about the snorkel tube not going to the top of the windshield but most snorkels are like this, otherwise the intake will mount above the car. I've been thinking it would be cool to make a different intake that would go to the top of the windshield and wrap flat around the edge. Just a thought for now...

    I would use an angle grinder or Dremel before a torch throwing molten slag everywhere... But that's just me.

    I checked again yesterday and we shouldn't need to cut the inner metal, but yeah an angle grinder seems much safer around paint & glass.
