After many countless hours of searching only to come up short or find a place that doesn't ship internationally, I finally found a company that has the full silicone hose kit with bleeder screw for the factory v8 cooling system. The color is blue so it should match my plug wires n boot covers!!!! Base price is still cheaper than any aftermarket kit over here.

That's cool!

 

I thought so especially since the specs look great on it. Here they are specs. I especially like the temp range.

• High quality silicone rubber construction.
• Smooth easy clean finish.
• Manufactured to fit as per the OEM equivalent, no modifications required.
• Working temperature range from -50°C to 220°C.
• 5mm thick wall reinforced with 4 polyester / nomex mesh layers to withstand higher pressures than your original rubber hose.
• Fits as a direct replacement for the OEM black hoses that are prone to cracks and leaks.
• This is an ideal way to dress your engine bay.
• Manufactured to a very high standard.
• We recommend this item is fitted by a professional mechanic to ensure the correct fitment

 

But are there other colors? ...

 

nope. I haven't found any other color anywhere for the v8 engines. If it was a diesel, they have an ambundance of colors for the intercooler lines and such but the only one for the v8 is blue. Don't know why but that's it

 

the UK gets all the cool stuff.

 

well they are the only place I have found that actually ships to the US though. Everybody won't ship here for some reason.

 

I'm gonna order mine when I get the panty dropper back from the glass shop. They are waiting on the windshield and everything to come in from across the pond

 

im sure if you found some high temp tape you could re wrap it or paint it
