I saw the spoon rad hose the other day and thought.."gee, that would look nice under the hood"......

I proceeded to an online source to buy it and was immediately flabbergasted with a $300+ price tag...

I then thought to myself..."blue doesn't really go well with my color scheme anyways".....

When SIIK2NR said they were "damn" expensive, I was thinking, "they're probably 'hosing' people 80 or 90 bucks for them". But this ............................. is
DDAAAAAYYYYUUUMMM expensive!

The only way a grounding kit will improve performance is if the OEM grounds are insufficient. There are no modern cars that have a shortage of grounds, if they did, none of the electronics would work.

A grounding kit primarily works by extracting dollar bills from your wallet.

I have a spoon sticker from an oilcap. Lets see the oil cap was 110CDN... I'll let the sticker go for 80

FYI: I was in a jam on the cap and was forced to buy a non OEM cap on a sunday

You're shooting yourself in the foot. That sticker's gotta be worth 90.
