yeah mine did that too. mainly due to the damn rocks. you can send it back to them and they will respray it for free unlimited amounts. do it like every 3-6 months. all you gotta do is pay for shipping back and forth

I'm going with the AMS front mount because no modification needs to be done to install it.

Cast endtanks are also a plus.

You would think they would cover the shipping cost as you are basically a mobile billboard for their company while driving around with their stencil covering half the front end of your car. Then again, if people are willing to pay for it, why would they pay.

You didn't mention swapping the rubber bushings from the two lower mounting holes of the OEM intercooler to the AMS before bolting it on.

I really would like to know what the function of that "weight" that has to be removed is??? Could it be some kind of vibration damper?
