If you want to make your intercooler look really stock, you can take some body filler and back fill the BLITZ logo

BTW, now may be a good time to get your wastegate ported/turbo's reworked. I foresee creep in your future. And, you will be fully capable of taxing your turbos with the full exhaust and the power fc.

something about ounces of prevention and pounds of cure.

What did you use (tools and cleaner) to get your calipers looking like that?

You'll want to build your credit by staying w/the duration of your loan-maybe pay it off a few months early. Will work to your advantage later
