You could paint it to match the bottom of the car... or run it up in the tunnel... or, if you have a full console tha runs from the dash to the back seat, it could be inside the car.

Just a thought, I recently looked at a car that was done that way and it looked good.

Yep...The Ring brothers have done this on a few projects, notably on Reactor, they used simple electrical conduit (galvanized thinwall seam welded steel tubing) bent to follow the contours of the trans tunnel, one on each side, allowing them to run the fuel feed and return lines through each of the conduits. They then used the two tubes as a base from which to construct / integrate their center console....There are pics of it in the Reactor build book...Neat.
