Granted, but the best way to dissipate heat effectively is no paint at all. And that's kind of an important component to be mucking about with, especially on an Evo.

I dont know of any powder coat shops in Nashville area, but thinking of doing it all myself so prolly won't powder coat. Prep is key obviously.

Not gonna paint my intercooler, if I were it would be anodized in black, I think the calipers and hood vent in orange will be cool with the front UT plate. Put too much money into the front mount lol

The Evo is one of the few cars to come with a front mount stock. I know the gti has a side mount, STi has a top mount, Mazdaspeed 3 has a top mount.

Yep that's another reason I went with the Evo, of course the IC on there now makes the stock one look girly.

Yeah but FMIC is a pretty easy deal to put on, afternoon and a case of beer. Maybe beer once all the cutting is dispensed with, lol

And not one of those things where you really need to drop $2k on an ARC unless you like showing off IMO
