i was wondering first off, what metal is the IC made of? i have a godspeed one if that makes a difference. and i also wanted to know if i can use a scuff pad to take the shiny finish off the IC, cause i feel like when i put it on the car its gunna look black cause it looks like it will reflect the inside of the bumper. if i did this would it remove some sort of protective finish? i dont wanna compramise the quality of the IC so if this sounds like a bad idea i wont do it, but i figured while its sitting in my room i might as well make it look how i want it.

 

Its probably aluminum. Off hand, i cant think of any reason scuffing it would hurt anything.

 

all intercoolers are made from aluminum. scuffing it won't make a big difference. if you want it to stand out, then paint it pink[8D]

 

don't scuff it, just install it the way it is, I have yet to see anyone with intercooler contrast issues...lol

pink would be one of a king though!

gl!

 

Scuffing is pointless just install as is. I plan on painting my FMIC black when I get it. I love that stealth look with blue couplers so everyone knows whats up, lol.

 

i doubt it'll reflect the black of your car. you could always paint it with radiator paint or a thinned down no gloss enamel. i painted R3VO 3VOM on mine.

 

i just think the brushed look would look better. i might do it if i get bored later. and why was this moved?? its not b5 specfic at all.

 

Karl wants to no longer use the a4 section and just keep it as an archive

 

ohhh...

 

yes it is. lookat the car you drive. andgodspeed only makes a fmic kit for B5's
