Default AIR Plumbing Improvements??

I've done a search but haven't found anything about improving the appearance of the AIR pump and the corresponding plumbing. I wanted to pull the AIR off, but after reading the pros and cons here, I have decided to leave it... however, it is ugly!!

Other than removing the system, how have you addressed the appearance of the plumbing for the injector hoses and the various valves and manifolds?

Thanks

My A.I.R. is long gone, so maybe I am not qualified to respond, but it seems to me the only reason anyone would want to keep it (or add it) is because they appreciate originality, and if you like to keep it looking original then it would be contradictory to change the appearance which would make it look non original.

maybe make the tubes out of stainless or chrome them, make a shield to go over the top of the pump like those shields that go over the tops of a.c compressors?
