Painted Intercooler?
Ok, i'm not sure if esoul is on the board anymore or not, so i'll try to find out from the rest of you.
Does this intercooler look painted to you or not? It looks perfect to me, but I can't tell why.
Ok, thanks for the help.

i think that it just appears dark due to the shadow from the bumper above it & the fact that it is in the shade of the garage(?) or house. definitely looks good, though.

welll, i should see how mine looks in a few weeks with the MS bumper and report back then. I was thinking of spray painting the intercooler black as it is too visible, but if it looks like this one... i'll just leave it alone.

i dont think there is. it doesnt look like a real MS kit (no offense to owner-still looks really nice), so unless he did it himself there shouldnt be any there. also, the mesh would have to be extremely fine, because it just doesnt show up in the picture.

Ex- member.
Here's the owner with more pictures posted. I believe he was selling it as of last month.
That kit is a MS replica one and it didn't have any mesh installed at the time. (I believe he just had it installed after being in a wreck.)
Anyways, the intercooler looks normal to me. Just may be dark because of the lighting.

If a person did paint the intercooler wouldn't that make it less effective?
