Can't say that I like this (I'm being kind!). But I do like (what appears to be) the intake mounted on the left (driver's side) of the lower grill. Unfortunately, this location will probably yield the dirtiest air of any potential intake.
I had a 1969 Camaro (like the one shown below) that had 'Cowl Induction', i.e.: at the base of the windshield. I don't know how effective this location was (in terms of airflow), but it sure sounded good!

Your cowl induction takes advantige of a low pressure area just fore of the wind screen. That way when the carb opened and showed a even lower pressure zone the air would hurry its way in der. I cant see what the pic is but im assuming its some sorta ram air set up if its out front. Ram air is what it sounds like, it uses airs own density to help force it in the intake. I have seen some lake cars and corvette used it for a while both at speed can see some impresive gains.... its a waste of time if you dont go above seventy..... the effect is small and unnoticeable. I like low pressure. My hood uses a low pressue to pull air from the ground up to my airfilter and pull more aire through my raddiator.....thank you ross and yer brother todd.. they made the hood.

That looks photoshopped to me...

It's not, I've seen all the work in progress pics.

and turbo coupe shitnfits innem!! And 3.7s or a 5.0

Wow. Very surprised. The steelies just look chopped tho. Not enough side wall. But otherwise kinda cool for what looks like a well used Focus.

I think it needs more rubber as well, those are 17" steelies.
