I realize that I might loose a little performance but I'm not one to argue over loosing a few ponies as I was going more for an appearance factor.
That's a big WOW for me. I can think of one thing that's "loose," but it's not your FMIC nor any ponies.

Anyway, if you were concerned about appearance, then I would think you would NOT leave it that way now that you've seen the results. I would also think you'd have an aftermarket FMIC if you care that much about appearance. At least an aftermarket FMIC would have the potential for improved performance, yah?

I'd say paint the end parts of it black like that one guy said and it might look pretty decent. or just get an aftermarket FMIC and not paint it.

This lacked taste and automotive understanding.

I hope that you realize that a darkly colored-IC retains heat; it's the polar opposite of its function.

Next time an idea like this "just comes to you while just sitting in your living room," please ignore it and continue just sitting in your living room.

Ha, I hope he's off removing the paint somehow.

Unfortunate that you ruined a perfectly good FMIC like that. Maybe you can put a screen on it to protect the paint though, there's a DYI in that section of the forum.

.....you could have at least painted it the color of the valve cover

If you like it, thats all you and you are welcome to your opinion... but its unlikely that it will increase the appeal of your car, its value, or people's thoughts on your rice intake.

I like trying new things, but my recommendation to people is always, in any situation, to sit down and think for a second.
