Throw some suggestions on how to hide the intercooler. Since madwheel got in trouble, we need to find a way to make it so that our intercoolers are not a visable to cops. A performance shop recomended that you could always paint it black. Wouldnt this make the performance of the intercooler decrease? Also what do you guys know about how the grill craft fits with sf intercooler pipeing

Give me your ideas

Joe didnt get pulled over because he had an intercooler, if you look and listen to his ride you can tell he has alot more. Thats besides the point, I'd say buy some mesh and custom make yourself a grill.

Get some grille mesh, and have it anodized black, make it un noticible, and more difficult to see through.

get some grille mesh, and use black radiator coating, don't use paint.

you can always go water to air

yeah painting will not decrease the performance that much, but it's not worth the risk or drop in performance. If your G Money then get it anodized, that would be sexy, If your not then just just paint the mesh black and slap it on

If your concerned about the couple of degrees temp loss, I'd say just cover it well with a grillcraft grill or something.

My intercooler is painted and it works fine, but I am running an intercooler rated for 300+hp and Im making 212. If you are really concerned another thing you can do is cover the core and paint the end tanks then just do a very light coat on the core. A bunch of people over on honda-tech run painted intercoolers as well, there is at least one thread that is dedicated to pictures of them.
