I'm using the foamboard mockup to layup some red kevlar/carbon fiber for the visible portions of the top of the airbox that will be riveted to the mostly invisible aluminum bottom/rear end of the airbox where I will have the 4" turbo-inlet pipe welded to it. The rear/bottom aluminum portion of the box will also be attached to a piano hinge and another piece of sheet aluminum to act as a air splitter and also to seal up the small gap between the IC and radiator.

Its kind of hard to explain, but I hope to get a lot of that done this next weekend.
