Up for sale is a Zero/Sports Intercooler Cowl for what i am 99.9% sure is for an SF5 Forester with a top mount. It could easily be retrofitted to fit any 02-7 WRX with an STi or aftermarket intercooler, or an 04-07 STi. Also wouldn't be hard to fit on on a swapped RS. The front 3 bolts line up, but the rears are weird, and it fits on any V7+ STi IC.
This is a pretty rare piece, and the design helps cool air down (metal is better at dissipating heat than plastic) and direct the air in a more uniform pattern over the intercooler to maximize the potential of the intercooler. While it does that, it also keeps a bunch of dirt, water and other grime out of the engine bay just like an OEM cowl would.
I bought it from an importer who claimed it was for a GC8, went to put it on mine and it didn't line up with the intercooler or hood scoop at all. When I tired to get money back, the importers claimed they said it was for a "GC8 Forester", which if you know about Subarus, doesn't exist. When told that, they still refused to offer a refund so now it is up for sale. I am just trying to get back what was paid for it at a small loss.
It's in pretty damn good condition, just some small rust residue around the holes, and some duct tape crap on top. Could be cleaned off with gasoline or Goo Gone, I just honestly haven't had the motivation to do so.

Will trade for a V4/5/6 OEM IC cowl w/ rubber + cash or a Zero/Sports Rad shroud (for a GC8, duh) + cash
Will also consider other trades for some JDM goodies.
