Twin Airbox's

Guys,
I've decided upgrade my airbox's, to something a bit more modern looking.
But I need to find an airbox, that has a mirror image twin.
Size and location of inlets/outlets are not important.
Its gonna be a custom fit anyway.
Are any of the new commodores available on both sides?
Even if they are not IDENTICAL, as long as from a slight distance they look the part.
Here is what they are going in.

Make something up from sheet aluminium! It's pretty cheap stuff to buy.

On my XX... it's only on one side, but it does work. It's not a box as such, more of a shroud, but the concept is the same. Bolts onto the chassis and uses the screws on the AFM to hold it all in place.
I could take pics, but the workmanship would make me 
If you were willing to spend the time on it, i'm sure you could make something very nice!

Ok, I don't need a shroud, liek yours or Joorsh's
I need a factory looking box, something I can put a stardard type air filter in.

you could use a VN commodore airbox on the passenger side and an N13 or JE Camira airbox on the drivers side...
|
That pretty much the kinda thing I was thinking about
Lemme see if I can dig up some pics.

I might not be cheap tho

i'd be looking for a similar designed box, something that enters at 90 deg close to the centre. Even the M5 boxes aren't symetrical.

check out the BA XR8 Falcon air box. Its more like a shrouded pod filter with an opening in the end. It cost me roughly $180 but dont think was too bad considering the filter was $55.

Plastic welding is an option and I may have to use that, but it never looks as good.
