I think it looks great, but I am biased.

How do they make tight 90* turns. Are there any tricks that people should know? I seems like when I get near 90, it starts to kink

I think it looks damn good. As far as doing it and making it look like art...well that just takes plenty of experience and a lot of patience. My dad has been a union plumber for 40 years and he can bend tubing like its no bodys business.

Vinny (860 Performance) in NH did mine, I tried myself when I switched to Black fittings, but had a poor quality flare tool and being the first time using one they leaked. So Vinny redid it Black fer me, when I did my next trip his way.

Here are some recent shots
