    I didn't for the longest time, I just pulled the tube that ran from my fender well to my intake.

    But srsly. I have thinking of doing the same thing, I.was just going to order a sheet of about 1/8 inch black nylon or delrin plastic to fill the void

    The product is only 1/8 th thick so it arches pretty easy, just takes some time to get the final fit before you put the fasteners on the sheetmetal... hope this helps!!!;)
