My main objective was more exposure don't think the air was really hitting the top part of the intercooler behind the bumper. And I wanted to fill the opening better.

Well what I have experienced with radiator sizing on random projects over the years is that radiator frontal area has a much bigger effect on cooling ability than thickness.
could imagine the same would go for intercoolers. So although it is half an inch thinner, I would think it would probably cool better. Plus the end tanks arent in front of the airflow to the radiator anymore.

Looks infinitely better. I would never, ever, ever buy those "note card" intercoolers, even if it'd work better. Looks liek you don't know what you're doing. I'm 98% "go" over "show", but those narrow I/C's are just stupid looking.
Good job.
