I love the looks of the real braided lines and ends. I hate the looks of the knock off stuff that slides over hoses. I think you get a real appreciation for it when you start buying fittings. Man, that stuff adds up quickly.

Slight thread jack-does the anodizing come off easily when using the wrenches built for aluminum fittings? My c10 needs some fuel system work..
as long as you use aluminam -an wrenches, the anodizing holds up just fine
