Hey everybody, this winter I plan on trying to clean up my engine bay. Part of this being ordering new lime green vacuum hoses from samco. I have done quite a bit of searching but must not know exactly what to type in, does anybody know how much of each size hose I need to order? All emissions equipment removed already, and I don't mind having a bit left over but I don't want to order but I do not want to order 3 times more than I need. Any help or links is greatly appreciated!

The combo I have picked out is a common scheme but I'm debating if I want to Change the bay color from white to something else

Well the plan for my car is mainly white with satin black parts and a small hint of lime green, Im not sure if the green hose with black everything else in a white bay would look good. I was considering painting the bay.black to match hood scoop and the spoiler. On the other hand I feel a black bay would give impression I repainted the car but didn't take the time to do the bay.

This is prew's bay and that's how I want my parts, all black. Now I can picture the lime green but I'm having problems placing it in a white bay.

Your welcome! I've bought t-bolt clamps, silicone hose, and silicone sleeves for intake pipes from that website. Great products and prices.

One more question for you guys, samco dosnt sell the 3.5 or 6 mm hose sizes, would it be ok to.go with. 4 and 6.3 mm size instead? I don't see there being a problem seeing as I planned on zip tying them all down any wayside, but wanted to double check

That will also work. With silicone hose, it's very stretchy. So 3.5mm stretches a bit to get on the nipples (easily done), and 4 will do the same. Even old crusty rubber sometimes is on there in a stubborn manner.
