Default Hose dressup

Started on some hose dressup. The rubber hoses are getting blah and needed some attention.
I still have more hoses to do.

This stuff is very easy to install. I have used the steel braid on other car and i dont care for the steel braided kit. Now steel braided hose is a different story.
