Replacing Hoses - 3/26/2008 10:29:27 AM    dyeballer26   Posts: 31 Joined: 3/10/2008 Status: offline I want to clean up all of the ugly stock hoses that came under the hood of my 99 accord. I've already replaced the intake and am going to get new red spark plug wires. I've searched for better looking hoses, ex; the radiator hose, but havn't found anything other than the black rubber. I want to replace the hoses with maybe a braided stainless steel. Are there any kits out there that i can do this with? Here is the engine now. http://i31.tinypic.com/2ceswao.jpg Post #: 1

Pretty clean engine compartment! Is that an Apexi filter on your SRI? < Message edited by 00AccordLX5spd -- 3/26/2008 11:36:00 AM > _____________________________ 2000 Accord LX Sedan F23A1 5spd -Short Shift Adapter -eBay SRI w/ K&N 1995 Accord V6 Sedan AT - AKA "the money pit" 1991 Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible - my daily driver all through college - now sits in my dad''s garage - needs a little TLC (in reply to falkore24) Post #: 3
