Tricky-Ricky Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Won't affect cooling, but it could seriously affect your street cred:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolarbag Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I've seen skull and cross bones on a FMIC before and it looks...well crap same goes for logos(leave it alone - fly a flag out the window with your desired logo if you want folks attention:search:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 There is good quality mesh available, and it can make for a very clean look, if your FMIC is not framed by the bumper aperture. Oh 97% bit is a facetious comment, but i wont go into detail;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 skull and cross bones... are you driving an emo (whoops evo ) Sure, paint it to blend it and hide it, but putting something like that...hmm, not my cuppa. sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The greddy kit comes with a template so you can spray it, I decided not too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmic Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Check my garage, at the time i thought it looked cool and covered up the blandish front but now on my current Supe- i wouldnt do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkR Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The greddy kit comes with a template so you can spray it, I decided not too The blitz one comes with a template too, and I hid it away immediately...

I fitted mine and it sits very high. Did you drop it using spacers to sit lower in the do-luck bumper? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/vbpgimage.php?do=full&p=4535&d=1163015978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the "Supra" logo in body colour would look ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franko Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 From my personal opinion i think they are best left clear. Put some mesh in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then removed the bumper, fitted all the IC pipes and re-fitted the bumper before sealing the edge around the mouth of the bumper so it was air-tight ensuring all air went throught the IC not around it.

MarkR Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Nice I'm having my bumper refitted due to an accident so I'll be re-mounting the intercooler at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Can't say my M-Spec came with a spray template, but thats probably because its the smallest in the range! I can't say that spraying anything on to an FMIC would enhance its looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
