Go to any "performance" shop or site. They have tons.

The only thing that I have that came as a kit was the Hose Techniques silicone vacuum line kit. www.hosetechniques.com. Comes with 4 sizes, tie wraps and the cutter and slitter. The rest is just various sizes of wire loom. Everything has to be cut to length by you. The radiator hoses are from Summit Racing, but the upper one leaks at the coupler. They don't like to bend very sharp. I need to get the original Kool-Flex brand hoses instead.

yea get some cool vacum lines and the wire covers help too... painting filler caps will look good .. if you know what your doing.
-O yea get a nice strut bar and put some stickers on it.. im gonig to put a super*street sticker in the back of the engine bay near the fire wall..
- my engine bay is out of control in color. i think im goin to take it all off and just stick with blue sh*t..

Looks are 1/2 of it..

A couple of my filler caps were already yellow. Worked out nicely. Anyone notice my Greddy radiator cap?

hey maxmized27, where did you get the upper radiator hose? And how much did it cost?

maxmizd27

Like I said above, it came from Summit, but I'm having problems with it. It won't bend sharp enough to seal properly and it slowly leaks out coolant. I have to take it off in the Fall because running the heat on the climate control makes it worse. You get no warm air and the car overheats all winter long. I also have the lower hose. It is a kit for around $85 that includes one continuous 4ft length of the hose for upper and lower, plus the four couplers, the aluminum covers and hose clamps. I wouldn't recommend them unless you have a car with no sharp bends in the hoses.

ahhhh...thanks. I just have the braded hose kit on it now, i just like the solid aluminum look. I looks fine and i don't need any leaks(I live in TX, so i need the engine to stay cool!) Your Max looks great and I copied the whole yellow wire loom today, sorry

I have a silver se with the vg,and since u can see the valve covers(which are red) I stuck with a red color scheme. Instead of shelling out $70 for colored spark plug wires I just bought some high heat elec tape and covered my wires. I did it in such a way that u cant see the seems of the tape. So far i have painted the battery tie down, the two circle looking brackets that hold the rad in place, and the eccs cover all red.

The Vitek dress-up kits look like nice stuff too. Attaches with heat-shrink tubing. Very heat resistant. Same stuff as comes on their spark plug wires.
