i've got an idea go get a supra sidemount. supra tuners have used their intercoolers with hard pipe conversion on their twin turbo cars to generate over 500 whp thats what i did and i love it all you have to do is mount it and get some custom pipe mine didn't cost me 150 w/ the intercooler to get it put in and pipe ran =/

You can probably just spray it with a light coat of barbeque grille spray paint. As long as you don't go overboard and clog up the fins, you should be okay.

This is very correct. A light coat of paint on the external surfaces of the IC will be perfectly fine. It is a little more economical than anodizing, though you could always go that route too.

This is mine I have yet to mount. I painted it with VERY light coats of high temp ceramic paint.

Cost me 5.30 for the paint and about 60 mins of time waiting for it to dry inbetween coats.

I beleive a total of 6-7 only because you have to catch all the angles for it to get the fins correctlly.

you can barely see it behind the grill normally, it looks like a radiator at first glance. it shows up a bit better in this pic due to the angle and long exposure night shot
