The tubing looks awesome, but I think that's too much work for me...plus if it doesn't come out perfect I would be pissed (and nothing usually comes out perfect). Instead, I think I'm just going to stick with electrical tape in the troubled areas. Just wanted to make sure my car was not the only one with tape flying everywhere. Thanks.

manystyles,
The electrical type won't stay. Been there, done that, didn't want the t-shirt. I used plastic zip ties. Works great and last a long time.

I gota say the the color tubes don't look to bad and can't be that hard to get it tight and looking right.
Did someone say how much it was going for ?

So do these tubes just slip over the existing tubes? Do you have to remove the stock tubes to install these over them?

I did the same thing, the tubing comes in different colors.

yeah they just slip right over...well..some times you have to make them "slip right over" Its easy and looks great. I'd say walk in to autozone or something with 10 to 15 bucks and you'll have enough to to the whole bay. And yeah, iam going to pick up some zip ties, they look and work better, and you can get them colored to match.
