Hose Candy
Saw this on Gearz this weekend and was wondering if anyone has tried it?
http://www.oomphlabs.com/product/hose-candy/
Looks like a neat way to add a little something under the hood.

Supporting vendor? Awesome!
Otherwise, totally gay. 
EDIT: Okay, not exactly gay (don't want to offend). It's the ricer look (Oops! Just offended more!). |

Wire brushes in the Dremel tool and 600 grit sand paper. It probably took about as long as it would take to change the fittings themselves but the results are pretty nice looking. The anodization comes off reasonably easy and leaves beautiful bright raw aluminum. That is starting to oxidize over now and leaving a very cool "old style" look. |

TriSodium Phosphate does a real nice job removing anodizing on fittings. Put a pan of water on the stove put some TSP in and add the fittings and stir occasionally. Works real well. Rinse when done.

They have a "Natural" color (I'm assuming this is not finished) so you do not have to remove the anodizing.
The thing I liked about them is the quick disconnect feature, and you do not have to have hose clamps.
Personally I do not think it looks "ricer", nor the last time I checked was I gay.  Just wanted that for the record.

Was just messing with you. Different strokes for different folks. Aeroquip makes some really nice disconnects for fuel and just about any connection. I just thought this offering showed some colors that were, well, loud. |

I looked through some of your stuff. It looks like you did some really cool things to your Cobra to make it have some punch. Nice work man. |

Here they are with about three days of oxidation on them. BTW ACademic, are you in the market for a Cobra? The NOV/DEC/JAN are probably your best deal months for picking one up.
Here's an older shot showing how it looked with the red/blue fittings. It's all personal preference....

You forgot to take the price tag off the overflow tank.
