Default Upper rad hose ideas?!?! Pics Please!

I'd like to see what other options I have other than the original rubber hose. Can you guys post some pics of what you have, please?

thanks

I think a rubber hose can look good with the proper clamps and some tire dressing. Just something else to think about.

i kind of like the solid pipe painted to match the car. this is what i am going with on mine. you can use cool flex end covers and the rubber connectors under them to connect the pipe and let everything flex properly. this is a car my friend did. he will be the one doing my pipes next week.
