Anybody ACTUALLY using the Good Year blue hose sets ?

I seen a LT1 today, up at the garage, with bright ****ing blue radiator hoses. I mean, it was screaming bling bling under there. That, crome filler cap, rims, HUGE crome tips, and assorted colors of wiring wrap ... It just ... looked bad. Ahaha it had neons too.

But at anyrate, I never seen these hoses before. I popped the hood and was like

The car is trashed. Looks like someone let a savage dog loose in the interior of this poor Formula.

How do the hoses seem to hold up? Just curious. They actually ( From a quality stand point) look as good as any other hoses we get up at the garage, but man are the fugly.

I'm using them and they seem to be quality pieces. I didn't buy them for the color, I'd rather they were black but it doesn't look too bad under the hood..

Ehh yours also isnt half riced out. This car just has flashy **** thrown all over it with no taste/style what so ever, so everything looks totally out of place like it should be on a 88 Accord.

I have them on my Caprice, quality wise they brigde the gap between black rubber and silicon, price for the whole kit was cheaper than I could do black rubber for so I bought them. I hate the color too, I recommend installing them while doing say a cam swap the greasey hands will dull the blue substantially .

Re: Anybody ACTUALLY using the Good Year blue hose sets ?

I have had them for about 3-4 years with no probs..
Be advised that the 'kit' has one hose missing [ you can use a piece of 3/4" hose for it tho] I contacted Goodyear engineering about it, and they said they would 'update' the kit after I proved to them it was in fact missing... but as far as I know, they never added that hose..
other than that, it's a good kit..
I think a lot of people buy it and don't replace every hose also..[it's hard to do the heater hoses on the car, but it can be done..carefully]
