Default snorkel opinions needed (pix)

Honest opinions needed. Does this look funny at all?

I don't know if that's a good or bad comment.

you could paint it neon yellow and with that crane winch on the front, it would still be hardly noticable

I actually think it looks pretty sweet. If you don't want that little top, you can just seal that little compartment and call it good.

Can't. I tried it but there's too much crap in there. The wiper motor runs on one side and the hinge for the hood is protruding to the arm so there's no room for a 3" flex hose. I tried to go through the firewall next to the hinge but it's not big enough. The passenger side is clear all the way to this white "intake" of some sort that's inside the cowl. I dunno wtf it is but it's gonna be filled with metal shavings as soon as i get the hole cut.

I think it looks sweet. I didn't even see it until the next couple close up pics.

I've got a similar setup, only I didn't protrude out of the wiper cowl. Just ran it to a k&n filter.

Too late, I already have the hole in the fender. Maybe next time.

That was my plan and it looks so much better but just not possible. Hood hinges block access to the corner.
