It's just my opinion, but I think it's stupid to spend $5k+ on a setup just to hide it. Seriously...if you were married to Eva Mendes, Megan Fox, Megan Good, or Hallie Berry would you lock her in the basement just because they have "I want to sex you" coming out of every part of their body? Sounds dumb.

Default Painted

I painted mine black. I think it would look tacky on my car with the hood setup I have. It would break up the flow of the paint etc if I had a shiny piece of metal on the front of the car. Black on white with one random shiny metal piece doesn't work for me lol.

A chick in a mini skirt isn't out to get laid every time she wears it either.....lol. But it looks good, she paid for it, and if she got the body to go with it....show it off.

It just doesn't compute with me I guess, like I mentioned, paying $5k+ to hide something...what's the point?


And I find it funny that people in this thread are using the term "SLEEPER" for the wrong meaning. A "SLEEPER" is synonymous with someone who WANTS to race, but just doesn't want the competition to know how fast he/she really is. "SLEEPER" is kinda close in relation to "SandBagger". But what Sleeper does not mean is "cover my stuff up because I DON'T want people asking me about it, or challenging me". Your not being a Sleeper if your not actually Surprising people with how fast your car is....which means you Race.

And if you bought a Turbo kit, only to continue to drive to the grocery store under normal daily driving....then what's the point in wasting $5k bucks? If you don't race it, or use it for "show car trailer queen" duties.....having a turbo kit is again a complete waste of money. You paid $5k for a paper weight. Just leave it stock..

Everybody has a point on spending money for a kit and then hiding it but getting unwanted attention is not what he wants. I'm for the sleeper look as well. Mishimoto sell black intercoolers you can check out or just put the lower grill back on. Turbo TC's are rare so I'd rather be a wolf in sheep's clothing than putting everything out there.

Ace 83 wow even with flash and still no intercooler. I like the the upper and lower grill, are they custom or plug and play.

rhythmnsmoke I understand what you mean about spending so much money on a turbo to not use it but you have to remember that the girl with the mini skirt showing her as$ but not getting laid is eventually going to have a hater that will take skirt , and rap her lol . I don't want to get a phone call with someone telling me my car is stolen. Don’t get me wrong I abuse my car in open areas but I just don’t like a ppl on my side trying to signal me to race every time I go out .
Florida got crazy ppl like that
