I bought a kit for my STI from Samco, they come in either red or blue. I haven't seen a kit for our cars but I think that the one for my STI had enough hoese in different sizes that I should take care of all the hoses on the EP3.

I know Samco makes Purple hoses for DOHC B series set-ups.

I'm sure you could paint them with some high-temp paint, but still, who knows how long that would last.

samco makes a kit if thats what you wanna call it but its only for the two raditor hoses and you can get them in a tone of colors(red, black, blue, green, purple, yellow & orange) the standard colors though are red,black,&blue

i think you're talking about the dress-up loom stuff.

you may be able to get it at a car parts or autozone or something like that. you'll most likely get it in a big coiled piece, so you cut to fit and zip tie them together. in my opinion it's a big cheesy, i'd recommend against it.


if you want to "dress" up the engine bay, i suggest tucking a couple wires that are easy to relocate, and/or add a DIY grounding kit out of some thick gauge wire. you can get those wires in almost any color imaginable.

agreed relocate fuse box and clean up the engine bay a little it would look nice and clean

The previous owner of my car had that crap on mine when I bought it.

First thing I did to the car after I bought it.

looks to me like those ARE the cheap plastic ones, he even has it wrapped around the hood prop, and his ground wires...

Check this link out. I know exactly what you are talking about. The colored silicone hoses for vacume lines and other lines.
