Any ideas of cost? You may also want to post in the "other" forum.

if there around the same for most of their kits it should be around 200-300 dollar mark.

Just my opinion, but +1 on that. Only if available in black.

i didnt see any black hoses on the website they were all bright blue and red which yes look like they belong on a 1990 civic hatch with primer paint and 14 inch wheels. black wouldnt look bad but not worth 300 bucks if you ask me.

its flat black not primer yo.

The more aftermarket made for our V the better, but your right on 300 being steep.

I actually meant that, to me, the pastel shades look ricey and that I would only be interested if the hoses were available in black, which I'm already using.

they have 12 different colors and designs... if i can get this deal to go thru they will be the exact copy of our stock hoses,only made 100% better using silicone hose and come with stainless clamps.. the price would be around $275-310 still not 100%sure as i have to show them i can get the orders...all colors would be available of course and the designs would be extra...but yes most of the colors and designs do look "ricey" but personally i like the metallic silver and gloss black...

these will NEVER burst!!!

+1 on that. I already had a problem with my bottom hose.... seems like it was about $92.

Let us know about the pricing and order arrangements.
