i was looking at my engine today and was thinking it would look sweet to replace the rubber hoses with ones in a different color. i was thinking purple to go with the color of the car, but i havnt had any luck comming accross any websites with what im looking for. So does anyone know where i can find anything or maybe recomend another color that would look good on the engine of an alero with a purple body?

I bought mine off Ebay....search for "wire loom" and you'll find what you need. I know just about every shop in town sells loom (purple too!) including AutoZone an Advance Auto Parts. But Online is cheaper. I had green:

yeah ive seen those, but i meant replacing the actual hose itself. i talked to a friend and we thought yellow would go good with the purple. mainly the idea to add color came to me becuase i want to get a CAI and since i only have red blue and yellow to choose from i was going to see if i could find a place that had other colors that i could just swap out. i think i may just do the loom thing. Those dont get damaged from engine heat do they?

so what color do you think would go with with the purple body of the car? Im thinking either red or yellow, since everyone in town who has done some color has done blue, so i want something different.
