Black out FMIC or not

I am submitting this poll to see what the concensus would be on either blacking out the FMIC with Fullrace stencil (has to be on there, Fullrace is a sponsor) or leave it the way it is. I am doing full Chargespeed kit, please refer to my sig at the bottom (my little project part 2) to see the front bumper. The FMIC and turbo kit are Fullrace, thanks Geoff. Thanks for your opinions and help!

The front bumper:

Well... in that case I change my vote to black it out w/silver letters (I originally voted for leaving it). The black will make it pop & the silver would look better than the white, IMO.

I mean leaving it the way it is, is fine and respray it, but blacked out with Fullrace in white wouldn't be too bad neither

I have a 2004 lancer ralliart and i ordered a polished FMIC but they shipped a black one and i didn't like it but then when the bumper went on it give it a low key look i looks sharp in my opinion.

eh, i think it would be easier if someone already had a blacked out IC on their car to see what it actually looks like. i would say no, because people obvi already know a evo is turbo and what not. its kind of like trying to hide the fact that michael jackson is a pedaphile.. everyone already knows he is

I just dont understand why someone with an Evo would try and hide it has intercooler. Everyone knows it has a turbo. What are going to think hey his car is slow he took the intercooler off. I say if your doing it because you dont like the full race spray painted on there then paint it all silver or sell the Dam# thing and get a nicer looking intercooler.
