Cheap Engine Dress Up

I got some wire loom(plastic spiral style wire cover) from autozone for $4 but is was about 1/2" and I go everywhere but cant find 1". My question is anyone know where to get cheap silicone hose dress up kits? hose techniques is too expensive or cheap wire loom kits(plastic spiral style wire cover)? I am going to back off from finishing my engine bay, until I get all the sizes to finish it, thanks in advance.

Wire Loom Plastic

I got the Taylor Wire Loom kit from JCWhitney.
I wonder if the engine heat will melt away the plastic, especially in a supercharged car!? Anyone have problems with the plastic wire loom stuff?

I have the blu wire loom and no melting probs either just don't put it on places where it gets "real" hot....

Irvine78 said he got raped on shipping from custommaxima.com since you are charged for each kit and it is shipped at once, I think I am going to try and find a local shop, save shipping, but Taylor loom it is...
