Why not go with a traditional FMIC, and an oil cooler in the hole you cut?
Edit: I just looked again, and that is a ridiculously huge hole you cut there. You really need to fill that whole thing with a FMIC or it will look stupid. Use one of the side vents for an oil cooler .

I don't wanna hear it.. You live in Virginia, not Kansas. Today it was sunny and 80, tomorrow it could literally snow, then Friday be 110 degrees. Thats seriously how the weather in the midwest is, and traffic here can turn into a bitch real fast. Nothing like bumper to bumper in 100 degree ambient air for a couple hours. Lest not forget about the rain; Nothing makes me happier than having to roll up the windows when its 90 degrees outside with a heavy rain storm.. Those can come out of nowhere. Hell, it rained for the last 2 weeks here. Windows fog up and you can't see ****, plus you're sweating and no air movement..
Plus I've always been a very warm blooded person and can sweat in the shade on a 90 degree day literally doing nothing. To me, Sweat == Misery.

off center FMIC FTL. Tim too.
If I had AC I'd probably use it 3-4 times a year. Like if I'm heading to a wedding or funeral and it's hot as ***** and/or raining. I couldn't warrant keeping it. We can just take one of the other cars for that.

Leather, this would probably work:
18"x11"x3" core
24x11"x3" overall

same size as mine and paul's pictured....if you mount it high enough you shoudl have plenty of direct airflow to the rad through the mouth.

the draw back is slightly slower spool, however my intake temps only see about a 10*F delta during a 4th gear pull.

im lovin that oil cooler set up^^^^^ I bought my intercooler yesterday. After reading lots of threads and everyones input, i decided on the 15x7.5x4. Itll fit great in that opening and allow more air to pass through the rad. Ill be making a shroud for it as well as mounting an oil cooler below like the pic above. Pics of everything will be up as i progress. Thanks guys for the help
