Does anyone know if there is a BFI Kit available? I went to HD to look for some stuff to build my own but it's like finding a needle in a hay stack there.

Lexan? Do they have their own display case at the end of the isle? I forgot to even look for the bolts. I walked around HD for 30 min. didn't see anything resembling plastic, sheet metal or foam so I then gave up.

Someone really should do a decent how to on building a HomeDepot BFI. The Soarer one kinda sucks IMO.

You can get the Maltech Cold Air Induction Kit for the Soarers:

Not really what I'm lookin for but thanks. If I can ever find the materials I'm lookin for to make my BFI, maybe I'll attempt my first how-to.

I was just thinking about checking Wally World. You think it's OK to glue the aluminum??

I went ahead and built my BFI out of Duct Tape and Cardboard. It was pretty High quality cardboard so I think it'll be OK as long as it doesn't get too wet under there. I double layered some of it for extra heat resistance too.

Any pictures? I was planning on using cardboard or cereal box to make a template for what I'd need and then cut it out of something else.

The Cardboard I used is just a little thicker than Cereal box and much more sturdy. If I ever find some material that I like I will use the cardboard for a template. No pics yet. I plan to make a step by step with pics and templates eventually.

On a side note. Does anyone know what that sensor is on the bottom passenger side inside the grill. I couldn't figure out how to disconnect it so i just cut the plastic around it to lower the air scoop.
