i like the look of the intercooler showing, but the sleeper look with the grill i think is the best, mine is hidden and i like it a lot of people dont notice it unless they hear my car but i def like the look of it showing, painting it black would b pretty sick 2. if you end up not liking it just take a wiz wheel to it and sand it down than polish it back up thats all

leave the grill on or get a vrd black grill like this. the vrd hides the intercooler very well.

Wouldn't Powdercoating/Painting the Intercooler mess with its Cooling capabilities?
Isn't that why they only offer it in Anodized Black? Since its not really a Coating as it is altering the Aluminum?

leave the intercooler visible and just ignore them. That's what i did for the longest. People wanting to look under the hood at hangouts never bothered me, was always proud to show them.

if i didnt have an RS2 i'd show mine off. no matter what you do people know you're boosted its either the tone of your exhaust or your bov. they will come no matter what. and to me it sounds like you like how it looked before and you just want the assurance its a good idea to remove the grille. on that note i say the car looks friggen dope with the grille off and the lip kit on.
