intercooler needs airflow. blocking airflow=more detonation/less power.

But hey it's your car and yours to do with as you please so best of luck to you.

Exactly... saves me from typing more.

I was thinking the exact same thing. However, I do like the molded in lower lip.

looks stupid, and you messed up the cooling properties, as well as the aerodynamics. but you get an A for effort
