Colored Engine Tubes

[Hotel Kilo]

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?

look on ebay, that's where i get my colored covering, fairly cheap and looks good.

that looks awesome jab....mine's nowhere near complete...

but ya, look on ebay for wire looms...you can get full kits for like $20 i think it was...

do a search on the web using colored rubber hose a the search...i found lots of sights not particular to the alero but i'm sure you could find something

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:

just 1 set of 40 ft will do?

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?

i've had mine on for about a yr, only had to replace 1, they crack where i put the zip ties and then seperate, so i just replace the entire piece.

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.

[ptrudel]

Forbidden's got yellow and purple goin on, its real nice...i dont' think red would compliment purple too well

[forbidden]

Ya dont go red... Go with yellow. its a good bright color.

lol thanks. Hey how hard is it to get the looms on? like do i have to take off hoses to get the loom around it? and if so wouldnt fluids be lost that way?

[jabartram]

the loom is split it slides right over.

it can be a lil frustrating.....but it's still super easy.....mainly more time consuming more than anything
