I'd do a little bit of both.

Front mount the IC but powder coat it black so it's not easy to spot right away. Also the general stupidity of your local folk come into play here as well. I have a beater 91 Civic and I swear most "individuals" instantly assume that the radiator is what is sticking out of the lower front grill......much to their dismay and suprise it's not.

Im personally about the hidden I/C. First off everyone seems to look over the fact that your grill is gonna keep some nasty rocks from blasting into your front mount. I hid mine on the xB and will do the same for the tC.

If I were paying all that money ($500-600) I would want to see it.

Those intercoolers looks so sweet. How often will you ever have a FMIC? Besides, the tucked, hidden and painted stealth looks' are taking away 'some' of the performance and cooling benifits = less airflow.

If your out there racing for pinks, then yeah... why not hide it.

For show and performance... a visable FMIC is downright sexxy.
