Default stealth mode intercoolers (pic request)

looking for hidden intercooler ideas...

I was thinking of just painting the one I want, and not cutting out the bumper..

I have a teg, so if you have an FMIC in a teg thats hidden, throw a pic..

why not get a smic? otherwise i think painting it would be your best option, or maybe just some grill mesh to cover it up. you could go all out and try the tilted fmic setup signal uses on some of there cars, but it seems like it would be almost impossible to do in a honda engine bay while still maintaining efficiency.

dont paint it, that would wreck it

use pantyhose to cover it up if you want a stealth FMIC, that way air still flows thru, as opposed to the paint, which would kill the purpose of the FMIC to begin with

you are making no sense, sir.


I think you're trying to say that it's buldging. Yep.
You'd be surprised though. 99/100 people can't tell in person.

So sad.. if you knew.. I was refering to the other guy who said it would hurt performance there fore I SAID IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. You take **** too personally. I'm an ignorant ******* because I was telling you that there's no difference? Jesus christ.
