LHT 4" Cold air Intake and carbon fibre shield G8
This an 09 Pontiac G8 for a Custom cold intake.We couldn't find anyone selling a G8 Cold air intake so we built one to the customers request.
Here's the stock look:
Here's the Intake we built , it's full 4" polished aluminum with a large 4" K+N filter positioned behind the lower grill.
We made the shape follow the aluminum cooling plate that was installed the same time.
Most of the intakes we've seen are not true cold air, the customer wanted to access the coolest air possible. The grill was trimmed , you can see the filter behind the drivers fog light.
The carbon fibre heat shield does a great job of keeping the hot engine bay heat for getting ingested by the intake...Plus looks cool..
The finished piece
We didn't take a before but 2" lowering springs were installed at the same time.

Great work! The intake looks great, and that carbon fiber airbox/shield is awesome...
What a great looking car
edit: Just realized it was Scott's car. Wouldn't expect any less from him
