best bet, and what a lot of members on here have is a Fender Well Intake by Intense Racing. a little pricey, but the best option to go with.

It's the only intake made specifically for the Bonneville. K&N doesn't make one, and if they did, you can bet your a$$ it'd be a lot more than $180...

The fenderwell is the best out there. In the mean time you can just throw a K&N cone filter on the throttle body if you want to. You'll get more throttle response, better MPG's and a meaner engine sound. Then when you can get the adapter and some tubing from Intense or elsewhere, just stick the filter on the end of that.

while it looks pretty, its also got a not so pretty price tag. Id be curious to see it set up on a Bonneville. the Intense FWI is less, and for majority of members with it, has worked well.
if you're going to do any other engine cosmetic mods, this could be the one. just note that there is more than one type for the Bonneville, depending on S/C and front mount.

That intake has a bad rep here but from what I understand it is quite popular with the w-body crowd

The Grand Prix setup is completely different. The FWI works on both because it's flexible tube. It's worth every dime. And the K&N intake for the GP is like $250.

The JMB FWI looks cool, but heat-soaks a lot worse than the Intense.

LOTS of Mods
Honestly i have seen both of the Intakes and its all about personal preference. When the JMB was designed for the Bonneville, the test car reported some false KR readings, that he didnt have with the stock unit.

I have the Intense, and just as comparison pics here is what the Intense Looks like on a Bonneville
