well the checkered part is from outmotoring i believe. the "S" is from the rear emblems from when i debadged the car. it looks better in person. and i agree it is kind of too much but purely experimental. plus i used a hot glue gun so the "S" is removable without doing any damage. another idea i had was to plasti-dip it. why not right? lol

Nice work, I'm all about DIY. I think the "S" would look good black plasti-dipped.

You can also buy a domed S badge from Aesthetic Creations that will be a lot thinner than the oem emblem.

The intercooler S is a perfect size. And it's only $4. I have it on my IC cover, quality is top notch.
