after seeing that I vote for hide.
It destroys the lines of the car too much. If you have it like HRT's you can still kinda see, still know it has power, but it doesnt f up the way the car looks

Definately hide it.

Showing off a big f/off intercooler is about as cool as screamer pipes, loud vta bov's and those tossa's that roll down the main st with subs cranking.

its all about what floats yer boat really isint it. no matter what you do, someone is going to think it would look better if it were done differently - so its better that YOU like it.

personally im a bit precious about corollas, particularly older ones - and ruining the classic nature / look of the car with something like that strikes a nerve in me...

but its your car, so do what you want and forget what others say.

(but hide it :P)

Too far down, if you do it have it so just a bit of the end tanks and a couple of rows can be seen if that.

Mine is fully behind the grill in my ke30

Being that low, there's also a good chance you'll wake up and someone will have unbolted it and helped themselves to it.

There is a bit of mucking around in it, just depends how patient you are I guess. As you can see in that other thread there is a bit of room in there but you're going to have to trim stuff to get it in. For what needed to be cut on mine I wouldn't be worried, its nothing much.
