Well, I decided to stop being lazy today and remove my intercooler.

30 minutes going to the store to get some aircraft paint stripper stuff
15 minutes removing the intercooler
30 minutes cleaning it

Now I have a shiny clean intercooler, and you almost can't tell that some stupid-ass paint shop decided to coat it with bright red metallic paint :angry:

Once it's dry it'll go back on the car, then maybe i'll take some pictures :)

I also picked up some of that herculiner truck bed paint stuff. I'm planning on covering the trunk-floor with it (Removing the carpet for good, esp. since i don't carry a spare), as well as covering the back seat area in the car. then comes dying the headliner and new black carpet, then my interior will be as bling bling as the outside of my car!

Yeah, except they said it would take them two days to do it, and that probably would have streched into close to a week knowing them.

It took me all of an hour and a half, and I didn't even have to remove the bumper, i just slipped the IC out from below the car.
