White silicone parts?
I am trying to do my engine bay white and black, and ive come to realize, i cannot find any white hoses or couplers AT ALL. Does anyone know where to find one, or if they even exist? i mean intake couplers, vacuum hoses, radiator hoses, etc... ive been looking for a couple days and cant find it... how could it not exist? input? thanks

I know if you just go on ebay and search "white silicone hose" you can fine white vaccum hoses and a little bit bigger silicone hoses. I don't think i've ever seen white radiator hoses for our cars, and I did a quick search and don't see any white couplers.

Seems like it would be impossible to keep them white. I would think even if you clean them all of the time they would end up yellow and dingy. They probably aren't common for this reason.

well i mean, in honesty, look at people running red and blue... theirs doesnt tarnish either... white would show dirt WORSE, but aslong as you maintained it regulary it wouldnt stain any worse than those....?

Well I know they have clear radiator hoses for the S... so that could cover that... I have seen aluminum coupler/clamps which you can get refinished white... and I am fairly positive I have seen white couplers for intakes before but I don't recall where.... Maybe do a search for white couplers and the size you are looking for....??? Maybe try mcmaster carr (www.mcmaster.com) and see if there is a hose that could be repurposed that comes in white...

i think i may just go with black for those, and powder the clamps white... itll contrast just aswell and be alot easier
Samco did do a whiteish urban camo IIRC that was kinda white... friend had it and stayed basically like new... took off after a while though as didn't like it too much
