Hot Climate Mods

[FourTwoOmega]

I live in Florida where at least 6 months out of the year, temperatures reach at least 90 degrees daily. I'm not a gearhead by any means, but I love my 2009 Ralliart, and I want to keep it in good condition. I use it as my primary car and do not race it (nor ever plan to).

I came across one of the stickies that explained how to replace the stock intercooler with that of an Evo X, and that got me thinking that since I live in a hot climate, there may be mods I can do to as a preventative measure against brutally hot conditions. Would this help my car last longer or need repairs less often?

I also see a lot of references to SoCal. Does the legal status of this mod vary from state to state? Where would I find what is legal for Florida?

Any other recommendations for prolonged hot weather?

Thanks.
