Engine Dress-up

[Mr. Man]

Where or who do you guy/gals get you hose dress up covers (or are they actually hoses) from? We like the stainless braided look with the colored fittings. We would prefer just swapping them out or covering the existing hoses rather than cut to fit, but if cut to fit is all that's available we'll give it a try. Any help on where to look would be appreciated.:)

On the net there are some good options between slip over covers or a couple of companys that will make them to order.

Just to name a few. In your brouser just type in radiator hose dress up kits I forgot where I found one of them but there is a company that will make hoses to your specifications and make them any color you want as well. If I find it again I will pass it onto you.

The covers are alot easier to work with and is the way to go if cosmetic dress up is all you want.
You can buy SS braided hose from Summit. Buy the expensive hose cutters because it's a pain to cut with a hacksaw.

Isn't the braided hose a pain to keep clean?

If you use duct tape or masking tape, you can cut it with a cutoff wheel in just a few seconds.
Don't forget the special tool to put the ends on the hose itself, more $$$.
To me the dress-up hoses are kinda ricey, just my .02. Nothing wrong with rubber hose IMHO.

[DOOM]
