Radiator hose options

Looking for radiator hose options to dress up my engine compartment. I started with the heater hoses made of blue silicone would like to do the radiator hoses with that but I have not found anything on line. I would like to see what some of the members have done in places of the stock hoses.

Thanks

I think the blingieist stuff anyone here has done is those woven wire covered hoses.

I didn't like the looks of the stainless steel fittings from places like Summit, so I wound up getting flexible Stainless Steel hose, silicone reducers/adapters and T clamps from siliconeintakes.com. Don't have much runtime on the engine yet so can't speak to the long term life of these. The adapters are also available in blue.

Probably not exactly what you're asking, but for me- I had those generic flex hoses on my 88. The top hose rubbed on the power steering pump pulley, and the bottom hose just leaked. I bought the factory hoses and solved both problems, so I'm pretty happy with the factory hoses- thought I can't say they dress up my engine compartment any. Yours looks great though! Really nice! My car is more of the "runs and drives" variety...
