And curious. Has anyone installed aftermarket intercooler, by yourself? Does it make a huge difference in terms of driving experience and condition of car?

not needed for your car, most of the n55 ppl have done it that are stage 2.

Installation was shitty imo and elongated without proper jack or car ramp. It's extremely difficult to reach under with the power tool
So I got them car ramp, will be delivered tomorrow.
I'll have to readjust some nail positions.

I actually relocated the license plate, kinda.
Originally there are 4 license plate holes, moved it down to the bottom two, so it doesn't look too "stuck in the middle". Was thinking about removing the whole front plate though. Since I do see a lot of people don't have front plate in California, although it it's required by law LOL but didn't want to risk paying fine.

Removed the wireless charger and bought OEM insert mat.

i will probably take it to my boys shop and use his lift, should be very easy to install then.

i need to figure out where to relocate my front license plate, right now its zip tied to the lower grills... lol

edit: how is the part itself? quality and fitment?

As long as you got enough space to work with, it shouldn't be too hard. It'd be much easier.
I had to work without lifting the car up and that's the problem.
The fitment I'd say 98%, some curves still got tiny space in between, but that could be the fact the screws weren't installed properly. I'll work on it tomorrow when I get the ramp and see how it goes.

As for license plate, I did thought of zip tie too. But didn't want to cover the whole lower grill.
Do you have original license plate holes that you could work with?

I searched up a couple no drilling ones. But most of them is using the tow part, and the others still do require drilling under the bumper just above the lower grill. it's just that you don't see it.

This one actually doesn't require drilling but costs 70+, so I kinda dropped the thought

i dont mind the drilling under the bumper above the lower grill, thats the one i saw and am referring too.

Here, the other one I found earlier, slightly cheaper than what you showed me too.

I was thinking about this one but I actually like the way I have it now. Serves its purpose of being relocated to a lower position, and don't need to spend extra money 💰

Ditto on that, tow hook ones... ugh I can't stand it.
