Intercooler Stencil Design - Thoughts
Hey guys,
First off, hopefully this is in the right sub-forum. I thought that I would get the best feedback here, rather than "Cosmetic Mods". I'm helping a friend paint something a little different on his Vortech Intercooler. I was hoping to get some feedback on positioning and/or if you think there is something better that we could do design-wise. I thought maybe if it just said "Boxer" that might be better, but unsure. Anyway, what do you think? Stock: http://i57.tinypic.com/aopdh4.jpg Idea: http://i62.tinypic.com/29n9maa.jpg What I used as a reference for positioning: http://i58.tinypic.com/mhf3b8.jpg |
Totally up to you. I'd personally just go straight black, but it should be simple to spray it on straight. You can fix it easily if it gets jacked up as well.
|
You might want to try the cosmetic modification section. I'll second all black.
|
All black unless your going for the racecar look. "Proud of Boxer" is much better than advertising though.
|
Proud of boxer always seemed like a silly expression to me, but your call.
|
fucking dope!!!! I personally would just paint it black or silver and be done with it. I think the logo is a little much. That's just me though.
|
I'd rather not paint the intercooler at all.. you lose cooling efficiency in doing so.
|
I hate when people do this to ICs. Looks so corny. All black.

I think there's a trend here, lol. Like I said, just an idea to be a little different. The IC is already blacked out, so it would keep things much more simple to leave it that way...
For those running the kit on a BRZ, does the positioning look right for best visibility? I just counted rows based on the rally sport pic. |

- Statistically insignificant (unless you're painting it with bedliner or some crap). Add temp sensors to prove it yourself if you like, I've seen enough datalogging on the subject to know the answer already. - Some paints actually IMPROVE efficiency (why do you think the OEM's paint them?) |

Anodized - yes. Paint - no. |
Personally I would leave it as-is or go full black. "Proud of boxer" just sounds like a broken english phrase, and let's be honest it's the supercharger you'll be proud of here.

Black, for the sleeper factor!
