They look nice. I have also looked at the Samco ones. I'm working on the suspension now, but would like to do something like that.

I'm not sure why you would want to draw attention to your radiator hoses unless your entire engine bay was chromed. Those would be the equivalent of braces on teeth.

So unless my whole engine is chrome I shouldnt make anything under the hood look nice????? Not following you on that outlook... My engine bay is in car show condition,,, which is my goal on diffrent ideas to make it better,,, and I only drive it about once every 2-3 weeks... and by the way, braces can be cool now...

Brageta, so I guess your engine is bone stock looking,why would you want attention to valve covers,coil packs,fuse box cover etc, these engine bays are not the best looking , every lil bit helps imo,

I always thought those ribbed metal radiator hoses looked cheap and tacky.

I'd have to agree.

Personally, I've been planning on doing the standup radiator like scj, and was gonna tig on some -AN fittings and pony up the $$ for some nice -AN lines.

They are complete hoses. Those ribs you see are the automatic fluid braking control system that they have ingeniously developed.
