Rad hoses

Just curious if anyone would happen to know of anyone that carries coloured rad hoses for the 3rd gen VG's?

Lol. I don't know about rice but I have a polished intake manifold and changed all rubber vacume hoses to red silicone hoses so I was just looking to see if anyone knew where to get the silicone rad hoses which are normally different colours. The silicone hoses hold up better and don't deteriorate or dry rot like the rubber ones. Besides with the polished intake and red valve covers on the VG those hoses add a little bling to the engine bay and don't look bad at all imo but each to their own.

nope no one makes colored hoses for the 3rd gen...unless you're referring to the universal hoses that's available on the market.

what i end up doing is make a hardline and just use the hoses at the bends. at that point you can use any universal 90 degree bend hose or pick up a hose that looks like it has enough ends and cut it up and use it.

you gotta get creative.
