oh before you install the intercooler be sure to check your muffler bearings and make sure they can handle the extra power

They make giant intake filters that look like intercoolers. It is hilarious. All you need to do is run the intake pipe down to the front of the bumper and have a fake intercooler.

really, if crazy designs on a car is what people are striving after, just save up the money and get it actually painted. it will look infiniately better than some craptacular vinyl graphic.
its funny, in college i worked at a screen printing shop that also made signs, trophies, and had a bowling proshop in the back. one day the owners son (who ran the proshop) decided that he wanted to spiff up his teal early 90s thunderbird. so he had me design some tribal fire designs and then cut them out in metallic silver vinyl. when they were done, he put them on the side of his car. looked terrible. 2 days later, he showed up all pissed off because his car was "vandalised". i asked what happened...someone stole the graphics off his car. i told him the design was still saved on the computer and we could easily make some new ones. he said don't bother, because he doesn't want to have to deal with his car getting "vandalised" again. (i quoted vandalised because there was no actual damage done to the paint or car).
i didn't stay at that place long.

Funny - what REALLY happened is 'some kind soul saved that car from an owner with no taste'. He was the vandal, imo :D
