Question Advice: To create or not an intercooler

Hi, in a few weeks I will begin Silvia S14.
My question is to know if is better to paint the intercooler integrated in the bumper or to remove it and to create one of them myself?
(I think that the second solution is most realistic.)



Thank.

Who make that kit looks awesome! IMO

I think it was stupid to make the intercooler part of the bumper, whoever is the maker.

Cut it out, then replace it.

Those wheels are but ugly. Ididn't even notice them.

They look like stock wheels without hubcaps.

The maker is Fujimi.... besides this the kit looks great.

For the wheels, they are ugly I know but actually I have the VeilSide wheels (17") from box (I think it's the second picture "Marriott" wheels, I'm not sure) and I'll change them for another model:
