I need some opinions... should I get blue radiator hoses or leave them black? If I stay black I'm not getting black replacements, I'm just going to leave them factory black hose.

If I go blue, I'd get a blue radiator cap... if black then I'd put a black radiator cap on.

Thanks, the spark plug cover is JNZ.

I'm thinking I will do blue hoses... it would help the theme I think.

I like both black and blue. I don't think the blue will match all that well, so I would stay black. However, you might want to go with the SAMCO hoses. They stay shiny and look a lot better than stock. I haven't yet because I don't want to have to deal with all the liquid all over the place.

Pick any color you want. Not sure they offer candy colors or not anymore because the first one I got the finish sucked, I sent it back and the replacement I got wasn't a whole lot better.

First one had inconsistent colors and a groove on it that you could see and feel. The second one had impurities baked in. Here's pictures of the issues I had with the first one:



^The lighting isn't causing the shadows, that's just how the color was inconsistently applied



^While seemingly small, that groove catches light easily and is blatantly obvious
