has anyone out there ever thought about throwing a kit together with colored hoses and replacement (colored) split tubing for all the wires? i've seen split tubing, but the blue looks really faded, i've seen people on here with a nice bright blue..... and i have yet to find colored hoses anywhere.

any ideas or links would be appreciated.

I got my split loom from ebay, and I've bben told by friends that Autozone carries engine dressup kits in many colors, but I hate Autozone so I haven't looked!

i see you're from kentucky... i know you have a wal-mart.... they sell colored hoses and they really inexpensive... if you're having problems finding the right color, you could always stretch the tubing out and paint it whatever color you like, use light coats of paint or the paint will flake when the tubing is bent/twisted..

Radio Shack and CompUSA. Uh huh, people use this stuff to make thier computers look all nice and pretty if they have case windows. You can even get glow in the dark or UV reactive stuff if that is your thing.

OK... stupid question alert... no seriously... :unsure:

Is there anything I need to look into regarding temperature on the split loom? Basically I dont want to switch out the split loom on my car and find that the stuff I put in is melting.
