Question Performance Radiator and Supercharger hoses

Goodafternoon all,

I just installed a new radiator into my 00" XKR ( $750.00 )...not cheap but only $150.00 for the install...and now I want to replace all of the hoses and connectors with something a bit better performance wise and of course good looks is always a bonus. Preferably a set of RED hoses and connectors...

I did a few searches on here and alot of reading but I didn't find anything..??? probably user error I'm sure.

Any help would be appreciated....thanks

Ok....so in all fairness after a little research the Paragon hoses for roughly $700 US is not such a bad deal when considering the number of hoses in the kit...my apologies to XKRacer.

Default Paragon Hoses

I had him do a set for my car in blue. Picture below. Had some initial light leaking but sorted and the hoses should last forever.
