2G Ram Air Headlight?

I have had an idea like this for awhile now. However it is a little different. I have just been deciding on the vent I want to use and where I want it exactly but this is the basic idea. It would be to put a vent molded into the hood right above the headlight that will direct the air to the filter in the stock position. Here is a pic of the vent I was thinking of using and the spot where I have thought of putting the vent. What do you guys think?

I wouldn't use a duct like that. maybe a NACA duct.

It's for a miata, but it's sound nevertheless.

That is a big freckin turbo! That and some super nice ducting work. I like the low radiator. Actually I like the whole car.
 
we do these mods as well, if anyone was interested. check out the free lancer section.

Im building one now for my avenger (different i know) LOL, but the inside will be CF, i think it will be a clean touch.

Here a CF duct I came up awhile ago(see the dust?LOL) that goes into the factory SMIC location it was going to feed cool air to "another" area I wanted to cool and just never finished. It just an idea to throw out there so your not hacking up your headlight. I do like the headlight feed for the track, but not on a DD.
Also as far as water conceerns K&N makes a filter sock which goes over your filter and helps prevent water from being ingesteaded by the motor. Is it 100% water proof but water repelant. I run just in case I do run into ran.

the headlight idea is great...ive been thinking of it as well.... i would only cut out the high beam and make a vent sending the air to the intake filter if necessary...allowing you to retain your headlights for daily driving
what do you think??
