    Well done HAZRD. I am surprised that no one has considered painting these intercoolers black for the stealth look. My WRX had a huge FMIC across the bumper and it was fully exposed. Could not miss it! There is a lot of threads on painting FMICs' black to hide them, just got to repeat I am suprised no one here has blacked their FMIC. There is also a theory that a black FMIC actually works better.
    Anyone out there prove me wrong, post your photos of your Black FMIC. Cheers Al

          Thanks mate
          I actually considered it, but meh, I dont mind it like that. I'm not breaking any laws having it there (I think).

          Maybe down the track I might consider it but I have to admit, it does look pretty cool

            That does look pretty cool, but it still stands out a little

            BTW what happened to your foglights??

              Love the colour on that Cooler, but it's hardly stealthy when the piping's that visible

                I deleted them for a cleaner look From a bit of a distance you can't see the cooler much

                Haha yes, I plan on HPC coating them down the track in black.

                          I did notice that... Haven't checked yet. I'm in my other car today so ill check tonight for you when I get home.

                          If it doesn't fit, can always buy a strap instead

                            Fits in the hole, but won't turn. I'll just buy a strap instead

                              I guess it won't add much to the cost on top of everything else

                                I have a strap that I am willing to give to a good home ...I will see if I can still find it, and will put it on the for sale forum.
