Alright. So my buddy was wondering if they made clear hoses. For example. Radiator hoses, oil hoses, stuff like that?

Anyone make clear ones that are as reliable as normal ones?

WOuldn't that be kinda cool?

I have one clear hose. It the hose above the throttle body. Its not that different.

 

[waynis]

a clear radiator hose would be pretty cool

If anyone finds this let us all know radiator hose would be sweet.

 

[skeeter019]

for the radiator hose couldnt you get a clear plastic one that is heat treated or something

Clear sucks because
1) You coolant system will coat it with sludge in < 3000 miles
2) If it didn't, there are no polymers that are affordable (read < $500 per custom hose) that would handle the abuse and underhood heat long enough for you to spend the money.
3) If the hose existed, no MKIII owners could afford it out of glam. They'd spend there money on rims first.

^^ good points, i was thinking about the hose getting kind of grose looking when all the dirty coolant runs through but that would look so sweet, if it didnt get sludgy

 

[waynis]

talk about squashing hopes and dreams.

 

[lowbudgettarga]

[supraray]
