thanks. just figured im post up the polished intercooler, the one from rrm doesn't come polished and it was bothering me, so i polished it and then clearcoated it so that it wouldn't oxidize or anything.

probably a dumb question but wouldn't it be hotter with a clearcoat on it. i wanted to do this as well but i would end up with stains on it without the clear.

i don' see why it would be hotter, most endtanks on intercoolers come polished anyways, and id assume they are sealed with something. i don't see why it woudl cause it to be hotter, i didn't clearcoat over the bars and fins, only the endtanks.

the IC looks too big though. Is it cutting off air to the radiator?

nope, intercooler is set perfectly in the bumper below the radiator. i try to keep it clean, once i get some money i'll be getting clutch, lsd, wheels/tires, probably in that order. thanks for all the comments guys, i normally am in forced induction but i thought id bust out a show and shiner and see what happened.

thanks for the bump too
