Congrats!

NOT adding sound deadening material was a faux pas on my part when
doing dash. Did almost everything else though... ;)

I heartily recommend that any other dash newbs consider adding
material while in there.

A Bionaire type filter came to mind. Maybe something washable?

that could be shaped to fit fresh air ram?  The ram is a "goofy" shape though.

Or would a filter like this restrict air flow too much?
