It does look pretty cool I'll admit but if it was me I'd protect my "expensive" inter-cooler with some diamond mesh or similar if I was you A9H-RX.
My mate had the exposed look on his Impreza with a front mounted inter-cooler until one day as he was driving some little sh*t kid on a coach he was driving past decided to throw a full can of coke at his car. Went straight in at about 50mph smashing the corner of his inter-cooler, bending a mount & dislodging a hose.
He now has a full diamond black mesh over the new inter-cooler which imo look's ok and stops cans of coke & rabbits from destroying his cooler.
