Well, I like Indi Blue....it tends to downplay the scoop, a more subtle approach. I like subtle. Let the car's overall lines speak for themselves and let the details play a supporting visual role, I say. No point in screaming INTERCOOLER!!!!

i think id like the chrome intercooler if you also had the chrome mirror caps, that way that will all work together with the headlights!!

Personally I love chrome. The Indi is beautiful, but, the S does have the bonnet scoop as a feature. I love my OEM chrome scoop. I get complements on the way it looks. It does, however, require careful regular cleaning - bugs, water spots, etc. - very bad!

I like the IB scoop. The chrome is just over the top, IMHO.

I would definitely go with indi blue....much classier and cleaner. Chrome stands out too much and reminds me of the pep boys cars you see around town
