amp, actually the airflow to both radiator and intercooler is more than enough. i never see temp over 90c even during spirited driving. i also have a aluminum under panel that directs air to it hense the reason for the radiator sitting so high for clearance. overall im very happy with the HKS intercooler kit. i know they did there R&D and it shows......

Don't think this one will polish out. She did a good job of protecting me, though...

Wow!!! Glad you're okay, sorry about the car, but from the sounds of it, you're lucky to have walked away.

I love the leaking eyeliner idea, it's 10/10 for creativity imo. I wouldn't do it to my own car but it is cool for temporary use.

Thanks! I wanted to do something that fits with the pre facelift front. Something I noticed about the 99 spec front is that it looks kind of psychotic, it's got a really aggressive air dam shape, and the bumper lights make it look like it's excited about tearing around tarmac. It really has a personality that fits perfectly with the way people ring the hell out of these engines and the shrieking scream of a worked race rotary.

In contrast, the pre-facelift front is more subdued, the air dam is a lot less aggressive and is almost a sad face with the rounded edges, but still not quite something you can define or identify easily. I wanted to do something to highlight my interpretation of the car, but I still wanted to reflect the aggressive acceleration and noise that these cars can represent. Inspiration came from the classic character of a woman angered by discovering her significant other had cheated or done something to severely anger her, picturing the yelling and the throwing pots and pans and the running mascara
