Default Intake kits for the GS300

Who sells intake kits for the GS300?

What would you pay for a kit that included:

AFM to cone adaptor
Cone
Hardware

AND

A heatshield to seal the intake off from the rest of the engine bay

I've been making heatshields for BMW's for years and have recieved excellent feedback. If I were to set my price at $55 for a Lexus GS300 shield that came close to factory fit and finish would you buy one? A picture of my work is attached.

Injen sells a kit for our cars as well as Blitz (filter only).
Just so you know, if you plan to sell on CL you have to be a VENDOR.

Cool

You could use PVC however you won't be able to get the smooth angles or bends, like you would using an aftermarket metal intake.
