Default Best Way to Do Darintake? Pictures please!

I've got my airbox out and am going to do the darintake...before I do I wanted to see whether people preferred the

"front method" of cutting out the triangular shape

or the

"driver's side bottom slant method" of cutting out small holes (how many) on the side of the airbox (driver's side)?

Also, should I put some sort of mesh on it afterwards (both ways or only the side way?)

I used a single large holesaw. If all you have is a dremel I'd suggest going the other way.

Default I cut a 3" hole and then glued one of these in place to keep large debris out...

How about if I did both? Holes in bottom and front cut out?

Default I have any tool I'd need to go either way, just wondering about

1) performance
2) keeping the airbox clean
