Intercooler is mounted



had it mounted yesterday, decided it was a little too obvious having a silver intercooler visable, so, got it painted today, and, it was just a slight mist so all of the fins are still clear so they will still cool, no blockage at all

people are going to have to really look to notice it now hehe

positive, talked to several shops locally to double check, and talked to a few very knowledgable people as well. Also, back in my honda days, its pretty common for them to paint them. The only thing that is painted, is the very end of the fin, wont affect a damned thing haha

black also bleeds off heat faster too... well according to the guys on some hot rod show on speed channel.

Jchevy, if you paint yours, use enamel paint, and hold the can 16-24" away and do a light mist. Yes, it takes forever, but you do not want to clog it up.

That is funny. Sounds like something a ricer would say.LOL

I think the black intercooler looks good. Very professional.

Agreed. I must be a ricer because I want my car to have tons of power and look stock. That's the defintition of rice.
