Painted the Intercooler, New lip too

[Billy.]

yea i know the new pic is pretty crappy. im no photography major . i used flat black Plasti-kote engine enamel on the intercooler, and gloss black engine enamel on the piping. the lip is a urethane eGay typeR style that i used duplicolor gloss black spray with about 2 coats of glossy laquer. the car was very dirty when i took the 2nd pic too so dont hate on the dull paint

comments welcome

*edit*
almost forgot to mention; in the 2nd pic you'll notice window visors, benen tow hooks, recaro seats, and a band aid have been added

youre piping sticks out that bumper like a mofo. i likes though. i have a black IC 2 for the upcoming boost.

 

[watisjdm]

Why the Type R style lip? But the painted intercooler is cool though.

just a change of scenery

some authentic ctr's (headlights) would set it off SO nicely.

I like the intercooler before though..

turn it around ftw. change of scenery is good. old lip looks better, type r adds to much to the front.

Looks pretty good... just hides it more so people wont see it right away

 

[Genuine Rolla]

[eskateboarding7]
