Newest intercooler mod ^_^

Check out what me and my buddy did tonight ^^







AND THE MAD SCIENTISTS AT WORK!

My buddy 'otis'


And the Jtrain (upside down-ish)
yeah thats catsup!


So this is just step one- We put 30 3mm LEDs into a peice of cyrstalite and secured it to the under part of the bumper-- I'll put more detailed pics up later if anyone cares.

But going to do it on the top too, to make it brighter.

And matching halo eyes and wedge lights.

Thought the F/I guys would be interested in seein this

^^^ 1+

Having a intercooler is pretty high key already. so...you put LED to show off your intercooler at night? Just a little too much showing off and not many of us will respect that.

Good creativity though!!!

hmmmm.....the only problem with that is that black is a conducter of heat so that would not be such a good idea....imo.

I'm surprised you guys don't like it.

It looks awesome IRL- maybe its the pictures.

To each his own- and this is definitely mine- I definitely don't care if yall like it


I do go to a car show about every friday (been a few weeks though).. And I have it on the parking lights + a kill switch.. so I can turn it off or on whenever.

I really don't know why the hell driving a car with lights on it would be any different in socal then in sofla... But then again- I really don't care either.

in cali forced induction is illegal so.....
I do like your idea, think it's cool the MOST important part is what YOU like not what others think....
i remember when i cut out my stock front bumper for the intercooler and asked everbodys opinion and......thats what i got.....
anyways we need 2 hook up one of these days i'd love 2 see ur car.

Would not fly in Cali, hell not even on my street where 4 cops live.

You don't paint intercoolers black, you anodize them like I did and then put double mesh sprayed black in front so no one can see it LOL.
