Evo05lution: What do you think?

Hey everyone!

I was thinking about upgrading my intercooler this winter. After hours of research, I firgure for now, wit the power that I want to achieve, the stock one will be fine. I had a list of mods made up and I have pretty much everything except for Evo9 Turbo, GSC Cams, and a FMIC. I could afford 2 of the 3 so I decided the Turbo and Cams are the best bet.

Since My intercooler was a little scuffed up and had acouple of bent fins I decided to do a DIY, being in between semesters and bored out of my mind, I decided to go ahead and paint the stock FMIC black. Let me remind you I am NOT trying to be stealth my any means, there is NOTHING stealth about an EVo, it is what it is. I also plan on running the stock upper intercooler pipes(the pipes that run from the right side of the intercooler up to the intake manifold), and I painted those as well. I would like some feedback on how it looks, and if you like it. Thanks again...

Bobby

hmmm> i am not sure if you used the correct paint?? But if you didnt that pretty much reduced the cooling capablities of the intercooler.
