I had that bar lying around and I always wanted to do something with it. Had some free time tonight after work, so I decided I wanted some quality rice for my car, lol.
Free mod! Yay! Also, I switched it underhood for now, so if I really want to turn it on to show it off one night i just pop it and flip the switch. If I end up liking this mod (beta testing right now, lol), I might just stick with it and then i'll put it on a dead switch in the dash.

wutever floats ur boat buddy.... dont get me wrong neons are cool, but some people go overkill on them. u should get a longer one and show off the whole intercooler, then leave it at that lol

Eh, I dont want to spend money on it. LOL
I'll leave it like this for now, pic doesnt do it justice as usual, will see what I think about it when i'm not tired. LOL
IF I end up not liking it it will go in the hatch with the other one.

I dont think its bad, even if it has the 'ricer' look to it, when its lighting up an IC its alright in my book :thumbsup:

I've got a blue neon behind my bumper in the same area (of course, I don't have an intercooler to show off). I turn it on maybe once a year. That's mainly just to see if it works.

your car is clean and good looking
mesh = rice
(or in our case, mesh = kim chi)

Umm, mesh will help to protect the intercooler from rocks and road debris, how can that be rice?

and taking off his front bumper will allow more air to get to the intercooler and flow over it faster, why doesn't he do that while he's at it? :rolleyes: :D :rolleyes:

Do you ever actually listen to yourself? Or do you just close your eyes and type?

/agree
when its functional, and doesnt look like a 3 year old elmer-glued it on, its not rice
and the mesh i bolted on my air dam has caught some rocks that get flung up by those construction trucks on the highway that otherwise might have punctured the $500 AC Condenser sitting in front of the radiator

Haha. Keyan, Keyan...
Just like ricerrx7 said.
I am cutting it out in the core region (will do this probably today), and adding FLAT BLACK mesh (read:not as rice as you think), to protect the IC, I already have bent fins since these couple of months, and I'm not like those careless people who just like to show off their ICs and invite rocks and bugs to get inside of it.

Here, let me translate my last post for all you.
"Putting mesh on a car is as stupid looking as removing your front bumper, because as the mesh can protect from rocks, removing the front bumper will also promote better air flow. so why not do that too? (/sarcasm)"
ok, get it now? there is always method to my madness :D
kewlkat, make the mesh look good or else. please. :(

mesh won't look ricey or stupid at all.

Keyan, I knew exactly what you meant. It was just stupid.
