The first step is making a mold from which I can use to make the piece out of fiberglass. To do this I picked up a 4'x8' sheet of polystyrene foam form Lowes (basically the foam insulation used on houses) in 3/4" size. From there I figured out how tall, wide and deep I need the scoop to be and built a brick out of the foam:

From this I will shape the brick down to what I'm after, which will be similar to this:
I plan (or at least am going to try) to make a mold of the top of the intake box as well and mold the new scoop into that as well so that I will have a completely new top section of the intake box made of fiberglass that will have an integrated air scoop.
