    I have plenty of friends with black intercoolers, including a couple of pulsar's that run in the low 12/ high 11 bracket (God knows they generate enough heat) and has ZERO adverse affects on performance.
    Fair enough. I would have expected something measurable myself. Haven't tested, wouldn't know.

    The core of the CPE is nearly 4" thick, a thin coat of paint on the front is probably going to make little difference to the effective surface area of the entire core, this is also why I would paint, rather than powdercoat as this process tends to cover everything.

    That is a good idea. Can you leave the honeycomb look grill there? Or do they need to be removed for a front mount? Looks like on the Streetunit website the COBB FMIC fits behind it.

    And Taz: I too like the look of the StreetUnit blackout cars but I also think they are too black and need a hint of colour on the wheels.

    Mesh stays on for all kits, it only going to help reduce damage from debris, dead bugs etc.
