looks good to me, however i don't know anything about intercoolers.

will it fit well into your front end?. as far as looks go, i'd get one large enough to fill up the big gap in the front spoiler. i wanna do the same to my car with an oil cooler. the bigger the better, as far as im concerned...unless there's a problem with being too cool. (not possible to be too cool, as long as you're cool enough) haha. j/k

if i remember correctly, rx7carl (the guy with the super shiny red fb) has a sweet looking intercooler that he bought off ebay, maybe ask him

Even with a large intercooler located at an angle in front of the radiator there is normally sufficient cool air flowing through to keep both cool.

In location you see very little of it on a RX-7. The upfront full view is more ricer style. Go buy a WRX if you want that look.

I prefer the normal grill in place as a protection of against stones coming in resulting in a major oil loss.

No problems with cooling..... but that is due to the TurboII hood scoop. The engine gets sufficient air ventilation thru it.
