Best way to hide a front mount?

Here is a picture of my car with White Mesh hidding the FMIC

Run an air-to-water intercooler. You won't see anything from the outside, and they can be just as efficient as a big fmic. A lot of VW guys do this.

Here is a perfect example:

A light coat of flat black paint will not hurt anything.

If that isn't a statement for not doing something, then I don't know what is. :)

Sleepers are only fun for so long. Just get a giant FMIC and leave the bumper off. Then your hardcore, a FMIC and no bumper for weight reduction.

To be honest.....is it possible to make a DSM a sleeper? I mean, most people know what they are capable of and usually don't mess with them anyways. That's like trying to make a Corvette a sleeper by hiding the FMIC for the TT setup. Stop hiding it and show it off....it means you are a serious player. As long as it's not something cheesy like a Starquest FMIC. Biggest joke of a front mount I've seen that some DSMer's actually consider 'upgrading' to.

If you want a sleeper.....get something like a GVR4, Colt Turbo, or anything that never came with a turbo motor and swap it in (ie, Mirage, Expo, Van, Mighty Max, or other makes too even....Chevette with 4G63? hrm.)

Heres a link for my car. Thats about as hidden as I've ever seen on a DSM. All I did was a VERY thin coat of flat black spray paint. Then paint the hose clamps and have your piping painted/powder coated black as well.

Doesn't painting a FMIC make it not cool as good? I kinda agree with Wizard, who gives a fuck if people know that you have a front mount. The only way I can see putting something over it is if you want to protect it from shit hitting it. If you don't care about that just leave it alone.
