Good Luck with the car



Oh and I can assure you, people will make fun of it, if you do get one!!!! But it is your car............

those types of intakes look stupid on a car, i wouldn't waste money on buying it, a cold air intake will get the job done and you dont have to humiliate urself.. w/ this fake intercooler lookin pos.. my opinion is people who use it give the rest of us bad reps, last time i saw everyone who had one either had a body kit, lambo doors or some ghey ass neon lights w/ chrome rims on a honda... but thats just my opinion

I love them!!! You should get one. That would make a total of two people EVER to buy one. You and me.

I've already conviced a couple of my friends to buy the LED light up wheel stems. We are all going to ride out with them on... So when you see a bunch of Supras, Evo's and a ricey civic with the lights you'll know what's up!

I couldn't care less if you "non-ricers" make fun of it.

P.S. Yes... I really did buy one. I like being different and REALLY, I don't care if you don't like it or make fun of me/it I think it's CULO! I of course plan on covering my intercooler with it! cut the back out of it and attempt to restrict as little air as possible, the problem is not hacking up my front bumper to mount it. I think I'm going to call it my intercooler filter and tell people it's to filter out the bugs from restricting the ari passages on the IC! buwahahahaha
