I've been working on this for months,i have the first test pieces ready ,just waiting for some more parts to arrive and looking for a used front support bar to modify.
Hey, did you ever get any meaningful results with this project?

I have a Mishimoto SRI which I wrapped heat tape both inside and outside the metal airbox - this has reduced the IAT a bit.

I then tried to isolate the intake opening using various foam material - so only air received would be from the small slit openings from the radiator shroud (blocking off the gaps between intake to radiators/hood) - I did see IAT further drop - to almost ambient temp however I felt it lead to air starvation - the throttle response became noticeably softer and I didn't like it.
