has anyone made theirs functional without putting the Varoom air box in there? not sure if that's the brand but someone make a cold air box coming in that way.
I'm certain GM had their reasons for not making it functional, but it should have been. Scoops and such, that serve no purpose other than aesthetics, are a waste.

I know there is/was a kit that you could buy to make the mail slot functional. You obviously had to cut the plastic out of there and a metal piece sat over your radiator and diverted air into your engine bay. I'm not certain if it is still being made.
