Dress-Up Kits?

[Seanaynay25]

This might be a dumb quesion, but I want my engine compartment to be a little more colorful and I was curious how you can make your area look nice? I already read the threat about the valve cover, but can you buy colored hoses? etc.?

You can also get a universal braided stainless steel hose sleeving kit that covers your existing hoses (upper radiator, vacuum, fuel, heater core, etc.). Places like Pep Boys, Kragen and Auto Zone want beween $39-$49 for the kit, but I got mine on eBay for about $25 shipped for the exact same kit. The hose ends are metal (except for the smallest ones) and come in aluminum, blue and red. The name on the one I got is Magnabraid II Pro-Hex. It's a hell of a lot less expensive than going to real braided stainless steel hoses, but looks just as good. :cool:

the only problem with those kits is, that the red and blue fade. Red becomes pink eventually, the blue just looks much lighter. I had one of those kits on my 1.8 years ago, but took it off when the red turned to a really fugly pink.

I went with the aluminum color, that way you can paint them to match your color scheme. I'm eventually going to paint the ends metallic purple.
