Front intercooler: sleeper or exposed?
Im just about done with the turbo install but have one thing I cant decide on. Should i take the front grill off so everyone can see the intercooler or leave it on and go for the sleeper look?

Wondering why you would want other peoples opinion on this because it is very much a personal preference thing .
I vote for stealth myself .....

This really is a personal preference thing. I like to let it all hang out on the FD, though. It's hard to have a "sleeper" when that type of car is known for being fast...

Yeah, sleeper is the way to go IMO. You'll love the surprise factor and the consequently, WTF? look on other people.

Well, what the hell, I'm usually a no bling kind of guy, but... I'd show it. Reverse stencil something on it like
