Does anyone have anything similar? What are Red fittings? Will this cover most of the hoses in the car?

I want a red engine. I found this website: http://www.stylinconcepts.com/parts....rtfamilyid/653

They have a full red version of the kit. I'll probably buy that one.

They have those exact kits (well different brand) at PepBoys. I dont know if they have the red fittings but I know they have blue and silver. I think it's cheaper than $100 too...

it looks really good but it is aggrevating to put on...you will see when you get it but it is well worth it afterward...for your engine bay....


I don't have any close-up pics but here it is on 1HOTMAX's car..

I ordered the Ractive sleeving kit with chrome fittings from the same guy last week. Should be here tomorrow, I'll let you know how they are. They seem like every other generic sleeving kit though, nothing special. The reason I didn't get red fittings is because my whole enginebay is fire-engine red and the fittings are anodized so they're a different color. BTW I think I payed $40 shipped on the auction from Phewled.

Yes. Anodized blue, anodized red, and chrome fittings. The hoses are always steel-braided though of course.
