Oh... an air diversion panel... I've never understood why people use those on our cars... it impedes the airflow to the intake snorkel.

Unless you are using long ram intake it's not a good idea (IMO)... with OEM, Stillen, or JWT it's best to let the ram air up there.

Just my opinion.

I think he means, make the template out of cardboard to get the dimensions right, then proceed to fabricate the "real" part using the cardboard template as a guide. Then you have a perfect fit.
