Remember that sometimes less is more..

Where did you get your hoses? I'm sure they were pretty pricey but i'm just curious.

It's an Optima part, it was under $10.00 I think. I will see if I can find you the part #. I just painted it black and stuck it on to cover up the red top.

Same braided hoses can be bought at Pep Boys for $19-$29 depending on the size, this includes hose ends too. I replaced my radiator to overflow hose, radiator to intake hose(next to throttlebody) and PCV to throttle body hose for less than $60-70. As far as the hoses coming off the AC canister would just need to use Earl's braided line for AC applications($7-8/ft) and some Tubemate hose ends which allow a braided line to tube connection(10AN size, $17 each). I deleted my AC, so didn't need to worry about that. No need to pay somebody a fortune to do something you can yourself for very cheap. If you have money to burn, then more power to you. I have it to burn, but don't like to
