Hey Pat, I meant to ask you about your wrap... What is the box itself made of out of curiosity?

Aha, you did go the plastic route, then wrapped it. Cool. I'm on track then... It'* just a matter of what car its going in at this point.

i was also wondering about acrylic or plexiglass boxes... any idea about how well those do? Any idea what is the easiest material to make the box out of?

BillBoost37 is a glorious beacon of light

The beauty of the CAI is they are all about originality.

I had thought along the same lines with the plexi of bending it then making another one to go over insulation.
