looks nice. Just wondering, how difficult was it to get the 6" intercooler mounted on your crx? like what parts did you have to trim/grind off? I am debating on the 5" or 6". tia

Yeah it does. There is special radiator paint that puts on a thin coat that he should have used. It will not hurt and can even help with heat transfer. High temp would be the last thing I would've used, it's thicker than normal paint.

Looks good overall, but not helping performance.

Keep all nice hot air inside, and keep all that nasty cold air outside, woot. And I bet 12 thousand degree paint is a bitch to take off

I wish there was some way someone could test airflow in comparing one or two layers of black pantyhose over teh FMIC or painting it black.


I always thought painting would clock up the folds because of the thickness of the paint.

Either way, very cool, very sleeper... Big ups.

haha, panty hose, that would have been even better.

I really like it, your car isn't a blingin car, it's got stock rims and dents, just like mine, our cars our both set up on a basis of power.

the real question is, if you actively do things in order to avoid being a ricer (unblinging your car) are you yourself becoming a ricer?
