Vacuum Hose Colors

I can't decide between the blue or yellow hose. I don't care much for red. Help me decide between blue or yellow. Thanks.

My car is black. I went ahead and ordered the Super Yellow. I just like the yellow because it is so bright, I would like to have a CYM R1 to go with my black touring. I think blue is the most poplular color, but what the hell. I like the yellow better I guess.

I wouldn't want to go with black, because If I have to buy new hose I don't want them to look just like the old ones. At least with a cool color you can tell you have done something to the car.

If you do a search for "show engine" there should be a thread of FD engine bays..

I've seen yellow vacuum hoses.. Unless you keep them clean, they look like crap once they get a little gunk on them...

Most people think I'm nuts for putting red hoses on my MB car (sounds like you are in that camp, too) but I like it. The blue hoses don't even come close to matching and yellow gets dirty too easily. Red is a nice contrast and looks good, IMHO. Otherwise, I would guess that silver or black would look best on an MB car.

Here's some pics of my car:

And no, I am not color blind.

I have a MB and when I redo the hoses I'm thinking either silver or red. The yellow is just a little too much for me and I don't care for the way the blue looks. Anyone have pics of a MB with silver hoses?
