[s-cars] To anodize or not anodize (a FMIC), that is the question!

[Dave Forgie]

For those that know me, I am not a "bling" fan.  As a result, the prospect
 of a visibly shiny Tom and Marc FMIC hiding behind my front bumper grills
 is a bit disturbing to me.  I have already painted the FMIC  hanger
 bracket flat black  (header paint).  However, I don't think I want to paint the FMIC itself because I am thinking it would decrease the heat transfer.
  IF that is true, one option would be to have the FMIC anodized to black.
  But even then, I am wondering whether that would decrease heat transfer.

Any of you FMIC/physics guys have any thoughts on this?
