Stenciled Intercooler

I got bored waiting for my car to be finished at the body shop so I can finally piece my car together, but here's a little paint job I did in the meantime. I got the idea from a member here on the evox forums. Except I modified it a bit to make it look somewhat stealth. What you guys think?


I got the idea from jd888jd. Here's the link:

Looks good, The paint should effect air flow, or cooling if its only put on in a few coats.

That looks pretty good. As long as you didnt use a bunch of coats of paint air flow shouldnt be a problem

I always wanted to do this since my car is black, but I'm afraid that I will mess up the air flow... Please, let me know if you notice something different about intercooler and the temperature... It looks mad nice...

Sorry, but I won't know if there's a difference seeing my car is just a normal NA Lancer.
