JIC FLT A2's lowered about 1.5" -2 degrees camber on all 4 corners, it corners like a beast-just ask anybody that drove with me on the dragon Unfortunately now with about 40K miles on this suspension it rubs on hard sharp turns, not on fast sweepers. Tires are BFG KDW2 255/285/35 19's, wheels are 19 X 9.5/10.5" +22 offset. Thanks

LOL good stuff......The black intercooler worked well however the color is subject to more visable damage as opposed to the silver. The intercooler I am using is a new design with polished end tanks and trust me less cars seem to try to race now that the cooler is more visable....

Hmm.. I may cut mine out. i like the open i/c look. Althought only ext. stuff i have is exhaust to give it away that it's modded at all.. Most people don't even worry about the noise or ask what's wrong with the car.

I'd use a powder coat or TDC (like alex did). The paint will chip off WAY too easy and leave it looking like crap, and paint also harms heat transfer ability.

I actually like both and like Taurran stated here in Cali having a intercooler showing like that is asking to get pinched by the authorities. The only bad thing is the paint chips so damn easy since I use high temp radiator spray paint that after a few hundred miles it looks like crap. I used the polished FMIC for the picture shoot but now I'm actually starting to like the polished one more..
