Oh god I would need a new pressure washer for all the skunk, racoon, deer and other wildlife bits I would have stuck in there all the time!

My grill is already knocked out some what. Doesn't like to stay attached at the bottom any more at all really ever since it bumped into a coyote rolling at about 15-20mph. Didn't even faze the coyote. And I've reattaching it but a bunch of the little tabs that hold it on broke. So a little super glue on the few that are still there will usually hold it in for a little longer. Thanks for the help tho, I just wasn't sure wether inter coolers were any more stronger than a regular inter cooler.

Alright guys not sure if this even worth asking but, I've collected quit a bit of "road trophies" over the summer in the radiator. How do you guys clean "road-paint" off the radiator without taking off the bumper? Tried pressure washing from the front but doesn't seem to work well. All them dried-up bugs got pushed into the radiator grill even more.

Remove the radiator and use the pressure washer on the backside of the radiator to push the bugs out.

Alright to my question, having an exposed intercooler is a popular style and i really like the way it looks. What i want to know is removing the grill and just having the intercooler highly increase the chances of a rock or something flying up and damaging it? I'm not sure if they are tougher than radiators and will turbo my car in the future.

grillcraft will add better protection and it will add some room for your intercooler

only problem is that it will make your crickets worse

I have never felt more blessed to be in California..... Jesus those bugs are massive
On the downside, I did get cut off by Paris Hilton once. I have a picture on my computer haha - custom pink Bentley. Awful.

Man everything really is bigger in texas, even the swarms of bugs. Need to come up with a front mount fly swatter.
