Anyone ever use ay of these? (dress up kits)

I was searching through the new http://www.explorerforum.com/store/ and found these things.

hose cover kit

individual silicone hoses

silicone hose kits


I was actually looking for color matching rubber hoses, but I don't think they exist (not cheaply anyway).

Has anyone tried any of them and will they hold up ok?

First post: The first two are the cover kits. The next is the individual silicone ones.


Second post: This is the silcone kit.

I just found a better looking kit at summit racing:

Anyone used theses or the others?

I had the briaded stainless hose covers on my 65 Impala,
huge PITA to instal, looked fake as all get out.
It may in fact have been the same kit. ( I have been using Summit as long as I can remember )
I eventually stepped up and got all the REAL braided, hoses.
$cha-ching$
I doubt I will go that far with my Ex

those are great as "finishing touches". the thing about them is that they look tacky on a dirty engine.

yea, those end caps are a pain to install. how something so simple...

I see them in a lot of ricer applications.

I put the braided hose cover on a '66 Chevelle and it was such a bitch. You need a few people to get one hose done, and if you bend it just a little, it looks horrible.

I definately don't want anything that even remotely looks ricer!!!! :thumbdwn:

I get the idea now. Forget that one. Glad I asked first.

I have never seen them in person. Thanks guys.
