Do u mean how much its going to be? If u do it depends on the size u want ur intercooler to be, if u want me to paint it for u, & if i build it for u or u build it your self.

Yeah it looks like his but, the only think different is that it wont be painted Chrome, it will be painted silver, and those blue bands on the intercooler pipes i wont be having either.

So let me get this right, you nagged Chris into making you an Intercooler, then you set yourself up in a little business selling them?

Nice to see how you show your respect and gratitude.

i don't mean to flame, but this is possibly your stupidest idea yet. why would i buy a crappily made intercooler from some kid that i don't even know who probably didn't even do a great job of building it, when i can go to the hobby shop, buy my own materials, make my own intercoolers, and be satisfied with the result because i know that I did a good job building them myself? it just goes to show how greedy and lazy some people can be these days. do you even have ANY idea what an intercooler does?? or do you just think they look "tyte" on a car?

not to mention you're WAY overcharging. for about $10 i can get all the materials (i already have paint and glue) that i need to make at least 10 intercoolers.

I have to come out of the shadows for a moment because I feel a strong need to flame you. You blantantly are trying to copy off FOTW in making these scale aftermarket products for sale. You have not displayed any true skill through your work on these forums so how do you expect anyone to even be interested in buying something you made? FOTW was a strong member here when he decided to go into business and he obviously knows what he's doing and puts 110% into his work. You, on the other hand, probably aren't even 12 years old yet and you feel that you can go and rip off someone's idea and make money. I personally feel you are a immature idiot that needs to stop spending time on dumb ideas and start thinking twice before acting.
