Torn between blue or black samco radiator hoses... What you think would look better?

Too many colors in your engine bay, go with black. I went with blue only because all of my couplers are blue.

I agree. That first pic is old. Since then a Vortech has been installed as well as all new black silicone couplers to match. Didn't care to much for the blue. I did get Vortech to hook me up with a black bypass valve over the blue due to the intercooler being on backorder. Also, I sent my new one piece polished MAF pipe, radiator diversion plate and polished catch can to my powder-coater to be coated black to match the upper plenum and my theme. (Silver & Black) The most recent is what it looks like now waiting for parts back from PC. Pick them up tomorrow... Slowly but surely.

Nevermind, didn't realize that pic with the supercharger was the same car. I also didn't notice this thread is over a year old. Nice choice though

Depends on the color of your car, I went with the black Samco hoses because I didn't want the focus off attention on ...... hoses. About 6 years ago I painted my dipstick body color (twilight blue) anything looks better than yellow. Here's a neat trick, grab some Mothers metal polish and polish your air conditioning lines. Once a year and they look good forever, it's the small things that count!
