Damm, I HAVE GOT TO STOP reading posts like these! I thought I was never going to find 'blue' hoses for the '04 (the S/O's ride), and thus my car (the '99) would stand out.

Well, ordered the blue ones - will surprise her

Thanks for the replies , but these hoses are bright red not magnetic red(burgundy) and mixing both reds would clash.

Hey Tom,

We just (today) dropped off the cowl pieces for painting Many thanks to you, more money spent

She'll be surprised about the hoses - all of us have been telling her they aren't made in blue

Did you decide on the chrome windshield wipers?

BTW, congratulations on the award!!!! Car deserves it

Not so! Take a look at my pictures above. The 'red' does not 'clash' with the Mag Red 1, but adds to the look of the engine compartment vs the black, OEM, ones.

You guys crack me up. $400 to have colored hoses when they do absolutely nothing for performance, your stock ones are probably perfect, and you can only see them when the hood is open! Craziness! I need to come up with some new products!

EXACTLY!You can only see them when the hood is open. I don't touch my daily driver engine but my '02 is for shows only and that's when you open your hood. Even though I shine up the stock hoses they look alot better if colored; the stock engine is not nice to look at IMO so that's why so many spend thousands of dollars on bling to make it look better. I would never add anything to my DD; that would be a waste of money.
