Default Cold air box ideas

G;day Crew;

Just wondering if anyone cares to share any designs or ideas/pictures of the way they are ducting cold air into their engine.
Of particular interest to me is a 'pan' type set up and using the bonnet scoop to suck air into the engine. I have a new engine coming with a 4 barrel throttle body sitting on top and wish to seal the area when the bonnet is down, drawing cooler air from the scoop. I like the look of the summit oval air filters that also draw air from the top as well as the sides, but would also like to make a sheet of Aluminium as a shield to try and keep hot air from coming up from the engine and also use it as a base for some foam to go around the air filter and seal against the bonnet when its down.
Opinions and ideas appreciated as to the effectiveness of such a set up.

Cheers
Chris L
