Default Clear S2000 coolant hose. Need 10+ people!

Seen them on other cars and kinda like the look lol.
So wondering if anyone knows of any clear coolant hoses made for s2k or that would work.

I haven't seen them but they would be pretty cool and as it turns out easy to make a set.
Just need to mold the stockers... and that would be pretty easy as well. Just fill them up with a molding product, then take the mold and get some straight high temp fluid line and put it in an autoclave. Presto custom clear lines. I bet they could be made fairly cheap. Good money maker

Hmm good idea. Maybe I'll just make them. Just replaced the short hose from radiator to overflow and really like how it looks being clear.

It would need to be braided and high temp resistant. With just a clear line, under the heat it will deform, expand... If you are just using those clear lines from home depot for vending machines etc. I havnt seen a high temp resitant clear line available. I know that clear glass coolant lines are availalbe for certain applications.

Check these out... http://www.advantapure.com/apsh-silicone-hose.htm These lines are good for 400`, that should work.

You should be looking for high heat, moldable, industrial chemical lines.

Yeah $200 is pretty hard to justify!

I found a different one that doesn't look as nice but cheaper. I'll see if I can find it again.
