Default Silicone Hoses

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone has installed the red silicone hoses that RPI Design sells. It's a complete kit of 8 hoses and comes in different colors. (I think red, blue, maybe black)
I have a Pewter C5 with pewter engine covers and chrome accents. I'm thinking the red silicone hoses might break up all the pewter and chrome and give it some color. (I tried adding some red engine covers but it was to much.)
If anyone has installed these, especially in red, I'd love to see pics to help me make up my mind.
Thanks!

Don't have a pic for you, but IMO, the red hoses would really make the engine bay pop on your pewter car.

I have red silicone radiator top and bottom hoses only. Looks cool with the various stainless bits I have...
