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.

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