Sorry to say it Steve...
but thats a HORRIBLE job.those I/C pipes will be dented or ripped off in no time.
if i were you i would redo the piping altogether...
and what kinda I/C is that? water to air??
you coulda fit a much bigger (and nicer looking) air/air intercooler in there, no doubt.
not bashing or anything...
but i've done a few I/C installs in my time...
i've seen some bad jobs in my time but

The bottom point of the IC tubes are 6 inches above the ground where as
the front spoiler is 9.5 inches above the ground. I haven't scraped them yet and don't think I will. The photograph makes it appear lower than it is.
It is an air to air intercooler. I doubt one could fit a bigger intercooler inbetween the radiator core support and the grill. It's real tight with the 3" 15X7 core.
You have to be careful too big of an intercooler produces unnecessary lag.

BTW: i've measured it out...you can fit a MUCH bigger intercooler than a 15x7x3.
WATCH OUT FOR THOSE SPEED BUMPS!!

Actually, there are many factory and aftermarket supercharged cars which have air to water intercoolers:
Factory: Jaguar XJR and XKR and Mercedes C32 AMG and SLK32 AMG. All run air-to-water intercoolers and Eaton roots-type blowers (in fact, they all use the exact same model).
Jackson Racing now has an air-to-water option for the supercharger kit for Miatas.
The Vortech supercharger kit for the 99-00 Civic Si uses a Vortech brand air to water intercooler (they call it an "Aftercooler"). Hmmm....the Stillen kit has a Vortech
Ford's one-off Focus R sported a turbocharger kit that contained an air to water intercooler.
See a trend growing here?
There's nothing wrong with using intercoolers in street cars. Sure, ice water is required for maximum power, but it's not mandatory to run ice water all the time. Sheesh, you might as well say the same thing for an intercooler spray for the air to air unit
