Intercooler

Ok I am going to ask something stupid.

I want to buy an intercoolor just for the look of it. Is it easy to install (is it easy if I am just mounting it there for the look, and is it easy if I am cooling stock engine and components??)
Also, how much do they usually go for??

it's easy to mount just remove the bumper and attach....

however it will not help cool anything unless it's hooked up....

an intercooler is an expensive riceboy accessory... can't you find something cheaper to rice out your car? ones that look good and won't get you lauged at cost about $400-700.

it's all swell when it looks mean, but it's gotta have bite with the bark, if you know what I mean. Besides, you're hurtin for rims, I don't quite think you need to spend money on an intercooler.

And then there are some people like me...that have a pretty big FMIC but choose to hide it. You cant see mine at all, and it take up the whole space like chillinit.

if u want to do thaT GET ONE OF THOSE FRONT MOUNT COLD AIR INTAKES, they look like an intercooler( well to people that dont know much about turbo systems) and its cheap and it will gve your intake a colder charge... Just a thought, they are under 100$ im sure... I wouldnt do it personally, but its a better seubstitue than an inter cooler cuz at least it functions
