Ok cool good to know . Maybe I’ll do that to my exchanger at some point. I like the look
It really does look good. From the moment I first saw the car in released images, they jumped right out at me. I think the car looks a lot better with them blended in. Another member here also painted his, looks great!

If anybody has any recommendations on the actual paint used I would love to hear it.

Don't kill me .....but I used Krylon Satin Black off the shelf $4.99 to paint my intercoolers. This is my go to paint for anything satin black in general. It is super light, easy to use, and from my experience holds up very well. No issues after 9 months. This is coming from someone that takes EVERYTHING to the body shop for true basecoat/clearcoat REAL paint. You just don't want any heavy paints for this or it could indeed affect cooling. Just took a few light coats and mission accomplished.

OK, this is something I have been excited to see........ Seats removed today in preparation for the upholstery guy to install the Katzkin covers next week.

Not sure if I mentioned it to you, but I customized the seat skins from the all black they come with in the SE package.

Dibs on the rear seat skins if you want to sell them , I’ll buy them
Was it you I mentioned them to in another thread? My old brain does not remember, but they will be available once I get everything back in a couple of weeks. I will be selling pretty much all the take off parts to help recoup :frown:
