Maybe if the FMIC is huge then paint it.Why make your cold air flow warm when it doesn't have to be????Just leave it silver unless it a huge *** one.Got to keep the air as cold as possible.

If the aluminum was anodized or painted with a specialized paint the heat distribution properties of the intercooler would not be negatively affected.

Most ppl that don't know **** about cars will think its a radiator, ppl who do know about cars will notice regardless of its color. How about get a stock location IC like the FD, thats sleeper ****.

I agree, but a FMIC looks so much cooler, LOL.
