Cervini's concept hood installed, now I need scoop filter/grill
The other day I finally got me new Cervini's hood (they do an awesome, amazing job, the thing is solid and very nice) but the scoops are totally open to the air.
So what I need are some filter/grill inserts for them. I want air to flow through them because even though I don't have the ram air kit, it still helps fresh air flow into the engine bay, but I want to keep larger debris like bugs/gravel/leaves out of there as much as possible so where do I find an insert to put in the scoops that still allows air flow, but would restrict larger objects?
I haven't seen anything on Cervini's site and they didn't mention anything about one.

I've had the concept hood for years, and haven't had any problems at all with debris, or rain. It seems that the airflow makes a 90 degree down turn as it passes the radiator. I was driving to a car show one day, when I ran through a torrential down pour. When I got to the show a few minutes later and opened the hood, everything past the radiator shroud was bone dry. So it seem that everything that makes it through those openings gets channeled downwards.
When I'm at home and the car is parked, I plug the holes with some foam inserts that I shaped to fit the openings.
