I was just wondering who might be interested in performance hoses and lines for our cars. I deal with a rep for Parker (look at you AC lines) on a regular basis and made mention to him about coolant hoses and other items. He said almost anything is possible as long as it is not something proprietary to the manufacturer (ie Ford). He tried to set up some customer with this oil feed hose on a Harley but it is some special widget connection that is only used on Harley's and is owned by them so he was not able to make any offering to make an aftermarket stainless version.

What would the group like to see if possible? Any suggestions and such will be more than welcome as this is only a thought at the moment. If you can provide a pic please do as it is easier to show than explain.

If such a thing as the coolant hoses could be done it would more than likely be a limited run through a vendor who he would set me up with using Parker products. This would also go for any other various hoses that people might be looking at if they wanted to replace PS, transmission, coolant, etc... with a performance or say blue or red colored version.

I'd like to see chrome coolant hoses, radiator and heater.

Here is a link to their website. Not sure if the chrome hoses would be an option as the are more of an industrial company. Smaller lines in stainless yes but not sure if they could make hoses as large as the coolant lines. More than likely something like that would have to be chrome sections w/rubber couplings connecting the hoses at the radiator, block, etc... The rubber hoses can come in a variety of colors and can be molded to specific shapes.

Here is a link to their website so that you can see the different hoses I am talking about.
