FMIC - Can it look nice?

[turboleg]

So you guys are probably going to kill me for asking this!

The car 91 L with EJ22T (stock for now)

So basically I want my "sleeper" look to stick around. Therefore I would like to avoid the TMIC (got the L hood still). Is there a good location to put an FMIC so that I wouldnt have to cut up my front bumper (or atleast not cut it enough to hurt the appearance)? If so what size IC would you guys suggest to try (any specific manufacturer)? One other thing, (not sure if it makes that big of a difference) my future goal...after time and money allows, is to reach 250-300 whp. If there is an IC that can support all that...I'm interested.

I posted some pictures of my setup on my old car.

I painted the intercooler black and barely touched the face of the bumper. It looked great. From 10 feet away, you'd never know there was a front mount intercooler.

I used a Turbo XS kit that I custom fabbed to work.

mine's a little radical, but sleeper nonetheless. I wanted to save the bumper beam and have nice airflow, at the same time stay sleeper.

Using hood pins?

Ya. That part kinda sux. When it gets warm out I'm gonna try to rig up some sort of latch that I can turn from below to secure the hood. I've gotten more attention from the pins than anything else.
