Default Flat Black intercooler...

I was thinking about this...in a while from now i wanna run a boosted B18C, but i kind of want it to be a sleeper. i want a front mount for better cooling, but i was wondering if i could paint if flat black to make it less noticeable and maybe put some chicken wire in front. thoughts on this? thanks.

There is a paint made specifically for radiators that you could use so as not to clog any fins.

Akari Motorsports, http://www.AkariMotorsports.com can coat intercoolers with a Thermal Dispersant Coating that will alow more heat to be removed from the intercooler than if it were uncoated... and the coating is black, thats a performance sleeper to me. email them for pics.

Chicken wire. lol

Dude, chicken wire is that stuff that you make fences out of where each hole is like an inch and a half in diameter.
