You guys realize that OBX doesn't make anything worth putting on your car right? It's as bad as APC...

I agree with this comment...OBX = an ebay special...but whatever floats your boat...So did you put your bumper back on with the T bolt clamps pointing the same way as they were in those pics?...because if you did they will be very fun to get to unless u take the bumper back off...

Looks good. Nice color!! Not having the crash beam on isnt THAT big of a deal...i actually took mine out when i did my bushur intercooler. All my cars ive had in the past, didnt have one.

Meh with all the money spent on paint etc. it's obvious there's not that much hurt for money. Save a little longer and do it right the first time and get quality parts. And don't get me wrong quality doesn't necessarily mean retarded amounts of money. But I'd rather buy a used Buschur, AMS, ETS or Perrin vs. a blingy brand new IC that probably hurts the car. Maybe it's just me.

Funny... My OBX intercooler is holding steady 30 pounds and 500 horse allll day ill take the $300 "cheap" intercooler working the exact same as say a $700 intercooler with a better name brand and save some money. What is the difference if its working perfect besides the name?

Looks good, but I too have heard OBX is not a very good manufacturer.
+1 for running without crash beam not being a big deal, I have a JDM IX RS and it didn't come with a crash beam to begin with, so why is some people so concerned about not running one?

Looks good. End tanks look like the perrin intercooler. Any figures on power gained with this intercooler?

The problem with no crash beam is if you get into an accident and have full coverage insurance, your claim can be denied.
