I currently do not have a fresh air box, but would like to keep water from running into my trunk during a rain or carwash. Any ideas as to how to tastefully seal the front grill? I'm considering maybe a plate underneath, sealed with silicone. Suggestions?
Thanks |

Put a drain in the corner and run the drain hose like the original, down under the gas tank and to the ground. Rich |

I may give that a try as welding is not an option. I will need to remove the gas tank to run the drain line, right?
