I like them. I did all my hoses on my car with the red ends and it really sets it off.:)

I used the Spectre universal sleeve kit. Got it from Pep Boys. It was kind of a PITA, but I think the end result is worth it. Also swapped out most of the old hoses at the same time. Its been done for almost 2 years now and still looks pretty good.:)

Real braided hoses look incredible. Braided sleeves look kinda rice to me.

Use just the hose ends sans braiding on new black hose. Looks great. Actually I like the braid on everything except the large radiator hoses.
