You'll want to close it in completely from the engine compart. leaving intake from the fender

Go to Home Depot (or similar store) and get a pipe roof flashing kit. It's made of a heavy plastic or rubber. Make a template of the fender section, cut the hole to a tight fit around you intake pipe, and put it in place. Use a couple of self-tapping screws to secure it and your set. Complete isolation from the hot air of the engine compartment. I've seen this done on a Grand Prix and it turned out great!

Or you could put the better performing stock unit back in for a nice, clean look!

Be sure and not to forget the handsome hand grenade look where that air chamber used to go..

Anyone have any ideas of what I can use to make better clasps on the side of my filter box that the dealer broke? Also i'm probably going to put some weather stripping around all the holes I made to reduce the engin compartment air from being sucked in..
