Serious question, Please no one destroy this topic flaming me/trolling/making fun of

If I wanted to change all my hoses in the engine to a different color, is there anything important I must do or know? Is it as simple as just unplugging, slipping stock hose off, and putting new hose on? Also where could I purchase these hoses? Also if anyone here has done it, can you post a pic? PLEASE SERIOUS POSTS!!!!

They have various size silicone hosing here. As long as the size matches stock, it shouldn't be an issue. Simple swap out. Well, not super simple, but swappable!

it is seriously ALOT of time and effort to do this...i could see doing the vacuume hoses...but, the rest of them aren't worth it! ...i think you can find a silicone hose kit somewhere on ebay, or maybe from a vendor

its not gonna be all hoses...but alot of the ones that dont hold fluids!!! and the only thing about something like this is the extensive work and possibility of a leak...IMO not worth the risk...but i have a black car, with black and polish engine accents, so i wouldnt really need to change my hose color

Street Glow sells a wire loom kit, that tops anything that AutoZone, etc... sells. Its more of a metallic instead a bland colored plastic. Do that, and a few of the hoses.

nah don't use that site...thats not even what you're looking for...check out this kit on cobalt-addiction. this is most likely what you are looking for. i just ordered some yesterday from a local performance shop and they're already in today. This kit has all the colors however you can buy them separately and they come in all different sizes that you would need for all your vacuum lines.

the address is http://www.cobalt-addiction.com/performance.htm
then click on "Misc." and scroll to the bottom to find the hoses! Good luck!

Looks like a honda ran over Ronald McDonald.

Do the MRZ toys for the engine bay.
