I welcome any constructive criticism, I don't care if people leave ideas, opinions, etc., that is why I did it, otherwise I would have, and should have kept it to myself. Sorry for trying to generate some ideas other than shelling out money for something that can be done with a little ingenuity. In due time... until then.

Really though...its not a bad idea. With a little marketing and nice packaging...it may work! 
I'm just joking. Its nice to see people thinking outside the box, but I'm sorry, that's just too ghetto for most. You'd benefit more with a drop in filter.

I doubt your getting any gains, more then likely just a nice intake sound..
Kinda ghetto, but i'm not hating i'm sure it's not hurting anything, just getting your filter dirty faster, no biggie..
I just popped a K&N in trying to keep it simple, i thought about modding my stock airbox but i don't really want to cut it all up, and it already does have a air inlet for the front grill.

of course u can man. im not harping on you....u apparently cant read. i said I WOULDNT EVER DO THIS, NOT ONCE DID I EVER TELL YOU OR ANYONE ELSE NOT TO. i said i wouldnt do it. not once did i harp on you. i wouldnt do it for several reasons.
1) im not 19 with my fathers hand me down lexus.....and im not gonna treat it like my honda civic when i was 16. its a lexus....how cool does a lexus look when you pop open the hood and theres a rubber band holding a airfilter up!
i mean how cool is it to rush home and show your buddy "hey dude check this out....BAM...MY RUBBER BANDED airfilter. SOOOOOOOO GANGSTA!
2)Its not gonna provide any performance as the OEM airbox is fairly well designed in fact you'll be lucky if you dont get more stuff in the filter thus decreasing performance
3)others but im not trying to start a argument just defending my statement
EXACTLY....if u didnt want people to discuss negatives on this then maybe you shouldnt have posted it
while your at it, hollow out your catalytic convertor, chop hyour springs and get a 4" exhaust can
hillarious
apparantally u dont welcome any constructive critisism as im being harped on
thats y i have a drop in filter 
honestly u can just blow me

"it pisses me off that there are so many people that have opinions on other peoples rides"
What would be the point in posting all this if you didn't want opinions? You could also cut off the mufflers to get growly sound, but just because its FREE doesn't make it a good idea. Its your car, do what you want, but how you expect people not to comment when you go out of your way to post pictures of this nonsense mod I am not sure..

Saw this, thought of this thread. It's controlled anarchy.

Ha, even I got a laugh out of this thread. I am not sure what I was on about, but I sure didn't mean to **** anyone off. I really never even had to worry a bout the rubber band as I ended up using a silicone bead around the air filter housing and never worried about it, the rubber band was just for cheap insurance.

I am not 19 either bro, I am 23, so if your going to accuse, get your facts straight first. My parents didn't hand me my Lexus, nor did they buy me my ****. I paid $13.9k for it with 89k, from a 19 year old kid in Woodbury, MN. I pay a little less than $1k in insurance every 6 months. I am manager at a local IT company and a full time student in business school. After receiving my 2 year associates degree in auto service, specializing in Toyota, I decided I wanted to make more money than just having to fill my tank. I only bought the car because he was dreading the 90k. I honestly love the car, so I bought the car, did the service and now I have put almost 50k miles on it. I dont own, but also invest in 3 other cars. A LS400 I rebuilt, a 64' Ford Falcon with a 5.0 V8, and a 62' Vette, so it's not like I'm rolling in the dough, I'm jsut spread all sorts of ways, and am not one to just shell out $300 for something that could possibly be made for a little cheaper. Anything else?
