I find it tacky, but once you like it, that's all that matters

Tacky??? Really! That's a 1st.. I don't think it so bad... It's just enough to dress up to hide all the plastic and create a detailed polished look under the hood to go with a polished car!

I'm just OCD, nothing personal. being detailed is not about hiding. It's blending it all together. I couldn't have that extra foot of hose running to that catch can nor have more than two colors on the engine bay.
The brake booster was hidden, till it got wrapped with a chrome strip, now I see the booster and the strip.
