http://www.vfaq.com/index-main.html <---in there somewhere are some homebrew instructions for DSM cars. Info should still be applicable with some tweaking.

Just incase you couldn't find it, here is the paragraph:
"How is it made?
Mine is a simple design. I start by tracing the template I have made, then, using a 12x24 sheet of galvanized steel, I use a band saw to make the outside cuts, a drill press for the drill holes, a jigsaw for the center cutout, and use a workmate to make the bends. I then use the vacuum hose to go along the top of the design to seal it pretty well against the hood (at first we used cardboard and putty to get a basic idea of the fit against the inner hood), so with the vacuum hose along the top edge of the cold air intake, it should seal pretty well. To mount it, I designed it to fit in between the mass air flow sensor and the aftermarket filter and adapter, so it should work with any car. I tapped into one of the mounting bolts for the fuse box to stabilize it in the engine compartment. The bottom is cut to fit the stock, or aftermarket 2 1/4", intercooler pipes on one side and the coolant overflow reservoir on the other. The rest is flat edged so that air can come from under the car and around the headlight to feed the filter. I used galvanized steel because it dissipates heat the best of all the metals I tried, and it is also a very smooth surface so the air inside and around the air filter circulates better. It is a simple design which is why it is only $30."
