Dave mine came shipped the same way. It didn't look like the box was damaged at all and the IC was packed VERY well. It's just a small indentation on the very end of the inlet pipe

 

Yeah i pulled it out the bend before i installed it, it got a little bent on the ride home from the anodizer.

I'm sure they would be willing to do more, they charged me 52.50 to get it anodized. It's a Standard Hard Black Anodize.

I can send you the Phone # but it i'm guessing it would be best to find someone local to you having to get them shipped out to california and back would definately cut into profits if you wnated to keep them around the same price.

Looking on Yahoo i found these guy alot closer to you only 66.1 miles away

humm, that looks good, I'm thinking about considering the stealth look as well, rather than the all out bling bling, look at me, come race me, polished/chrome look...

 

dave if you can get these anodized in a way that wont hinder performance i'm sure a lot of people will buy this

 

I liked it better when it was rainbow!

 

Moreover, if you can prove that anodizing is actually better than normal, you'd be in even better shape. And I'd buy one.

 

Anodizing does not make it any more effective, all it does it chemically oxidize the aluminum a specific color. Nothing more nothing less.

 

I can't see putting anything on an intercooler that is going to make it "better" other than something cold

I like the look though.
