Definitely go custom, burnt is right. But if you want to be the coolest kid on your block and spend mad cash, HK$ makes an FMIC conversion kit. They match it to the intercoolers they sell seperately(what a jip), so if your intercooler matchs the dimensions and inlet/outlet of one of their intercoolers, then you're cool. Now this may run you upwards of $500....when a good exhaust shop or even decent welder friend can make you some pipes and stuff for under $150. But if you go HK$, you can get that cool little 2"x3" sticker for your fender....pretty cool.

if you haven't already, yes, I upgraded with the greddy kit, its like $250 or so, but is very nice.

oh, and about that cool little vinyl... it would be cheaper just to buy the vinyl.. don't pay $500 for a 2"x3" sticker!!
