What made you decide on blue?
Actually, this is what started it all. I had my MSDS headers professionally ceramic coated by Jet Hot in their 2000 degree blue.

Actually they are all custom made, 100% silicone, life-time warrenty. And yes they were a significant $.

Care to share pricing? It's an interesting idea.

For a price comparison, here is the piece George Sunnen had designed / made by 044 motorsports:

I've reached out to them for other custom pieces (non 928) and for what you are getting, I felt they were reasonable.

Converting to silicone is a popular upgrade in the Ferrari world. I've asked a few of our vendors about doing the same for the 928 world.

Example for the Ferrari 355:

All I can say is that it would fit my car like a 'T'. I already have the blue vac hoses and blue painted script on my valve covers and intake. I am salivating at this one.

Ok wait wait wait! What? go back.
go back to the hose part.
ummm...do they come in...say...red...for instance?

You can't just throw that out there and leave it hanging.
'sup?

Well how about that! Where did you find a source for that? Some of the rubber bits and hoses on the early cars are nla, and it would be good to know who makes these hoses. I assume if your source can make them blue, then they can make them black too,
