Question Is stainless braided line under the hood- ricey/tacky or nice??

I am just curious. I have some to use up, was thinking about doing my radi lines( prob not the main one, just the puke line and small line), trans lines in this stuff. I just want to make the engine bay have a little pop. I did some color matching today under there, think it would add a bit of eye cand under there vs the old black hoses. What is your take on this, not to mention it will match the fuel lines ect once I decide to put my new intake, FPR, rails on. Yes no ??

I personally hate that crap. The older it gets, the worse it gets(fraying). Can't tell you how many times I've cut my hands on that junk.

It was cool in the 80's though. But so was M.C. Hammer...

The 80's were my hay-day years! Sometimes I can still remember parts of it.

I like it. The cleanest engine bays I have seen all run braided line. Obviously anything that looks good that's used to excess can be tacky, though...
