You do know that that is possibly one of the dumbest things to do to an intercooler? Air hitting directly on the fins and the metal of the intercooler as a whole is what cools the air charge. That, and you just made it easier for it to retain heat.

I bet after you have all this done to hide your intercooler, you still have the loudest blow-off valve known to mankind.

Wouldn't painting it black just been a lot better? Like NA said, I think you just hurt it more than helped it.

take it off...

Get the radiator paint.

Even a thin coat of regular flat black paint would look better and not have nearly the same insulating properties as 4 layers of pantyhose and duct tape.
