Mesh "Zanardi NSX Style" Side Air Intakes
by David Nguyen
The Zanardi style mesh side vents goes for $175 PER SIDE! If you’ve got some time and about $10 to spare, you can make your own mesh vents. All you need is a sheet of aluminum sash from your local Home Depot store (8′ sections for $5) and a can of Rust-o-leum ($5).
Schematic
It sounds pretty easy, and it is. The only tough part is getting the Side Air Scoop off the car.
Bonus: The opening will be larger now because the original Vent Louver is tapered. Now, with the larger opening, you will get more airflow into the engine compartment/air box.
