I got the intercooler on ebay for a little over $200. Not a bad deal for a polished intercooler and it is well made and I haven't noticed any drop in boost pressure. So I'm happy. I don't have the rollers on anymore, I took those off when I had the first intercooler on. They get in the way with pretty much any intercooler unless it's really small, or if you have a huge opening in your front bumper. It was direct bolt on. It has mouting holes on the bottom and I used the RRM intercooler mounting plates. They didn't line up with the new intercooler's mounting holes so I just drilled new holes in the plates, turned out damn good and solid.

I know someone else had asked about my hood. I actually got it through a local performance shop. I've had it for over 2 years now and the only signs of wear are 2 small spots where the clear coat is kind of screwed up, but after 2 years of daily driving with cf, that's not too shabby. Plus they are barely noticeable. Overall I love the hood. Thanks for all the props so far!

If you have a little gray paint left(model paint), then paint the bulb and leave 2 small unpainted triangle on 2 opposite sides of the bulb. The bulb won't be noticed in daylight, and will still light up bright enough at night(and obviously visible when used in daylight).

The ebayer I got my new intercooler from was turboworks. And the first intercooler I had on there wasn't an evo intercooler. It was another one I got on ebay, but it was a little bigger and was tube and fin, instead of bar and plate. Thanks for all the compliments! I have so much more to do this winter too so stay tuned!
