Default Getting it painted!!

So since I cant sell my cobra termi bumper I'm going to install it. Now I know I need the fog lights and the bezels and I can pick thoes up off ebay for about $100. I know I need the thingy that goes in the grill opening but is there anything else I need? Maby a chin spoiler? I also need to somehow black out the area where the intercooler should be untill I actually get one, so whats best to use there? Im thinking some sort of spanded metal painted black so the air still can get through and not cause a air dam. Ideas guys?

You could try and find some chicken wire mess like stuff and paint it black... Or you could just buy a supercharger with a FMIC kit and call it a day! DONE... NEXT!

ps... you're ugly

LOL thanks for the ps.. I dont really have any money left for a supercharger as I just bought a 2004 Mystic Cobra so that will have to wait. What is a FMIC kit?

Front Mount Intercooler.... but then just go for the mesh idea... it will cover the open area and if you paint it black you won't really notice it much but air can still get through to the radiator.

you dont want to paint an intercooler or a radiator. the reason they are bare metal is for heat exchange. if you paint it you hold in the heat. dont ever paint a FMIC or babies all over the world will die!

And whats wrong with that???

I think he was talking about painting the chicken wire though, it would be good protection for the FMIC in the end.

Dark-
I would do the chicken wire, then supercharge or turbo. Or you can get the front mount and put the air cleaner on the end...... (yes I have seen this o.0 )

p.s.- your the most hideous thing Ive seen


P.S.S.- j/k

p.s.s.s.- not really
