hi, i'm after hosing that looks good and want to find out how much it costs to chrome your rocker cover and things under your hood, the only hosinng i know about is the one with wire mesh on the out side of it, is there any other types?

theres the braided lines like you mentioned, not sure of price but it ain't cheap. you can can get silicon hoses too in different colours, cheaper then braided lines. not much else that a i know of. i think Greddy used to or still do hard pipes for the radiator in polished aluminum.

Try Speedflow, Proflow or have a look here on these forums. Ben is a good guy and a trader on these forums and cheaper than most, send him a PM and he'll help you out BUT be prepared to part with a fair amount of your hard earned.

For example I just bought 3 metres of braid and 2 hose fittings and didnt get much change from $300

But it looks good

braided lines would be the go. hard pipe would be superior pressure and temp wise but would be a bit harder installing and servicing if the hard pipe needs to be moved.

just make sure you buy the quality braided lines and fittings as Dave just mentioned

Thanks for the kind words!

Braided lines are the most effective way to go about it. There is another way however.. if you want the look without the price tag you can buy a steel braid to go over your exisiting hose. It doesn't look as neat because you cant get the tension in the cover the properly made lines have, it also is a prick to get on and you will end up with a lot of holes in the end of your fingers! It is an option however. The bits are not cheap, which is why most people replace things for performance reasons as well as cosmetic instead of for the sake of it. If you want any pricing or information don't hesitate to drop me a pm!

Thanks, Ben.
