Default Does this look cheesy? Aluminum hardlines to my catch can

I had a coil of aluminum fuel line left over from a previous project. I thought it might be a decent way of cleaning up the lunes under the hiod when i add my tbss intake. Left me know what you think. I dont like alot of flash or tackiness under the hood so i am still debating just running black hose.

Sorry crappy cell phone pics.

ah now it makes sense, my can is on the drivers side. Dont think it would look to bad all painted black including the rails if your going for that under the radar look imo..
also is it possible to twist that very top vacuum port for the pcv 180* so its on the pass side instead of going all the way around the back?

i know less bends will result in better flow but you have to get very precise and make every little bend perfect/symetrical to make hard line look good . and a little buffer wheel to shine it up would also help make it look purdy.

I don't think it looks bad but what about covering it with some expandable loom.
