JDMFresh - Silicone Radiator Hose Kit for Subaru BRZ, Scion FRS and Toyota 86 (Red)

Car: Release Series 1.0 FR-S 2015Included: Everything you see in the picture (2 Upper Radiator Hoses, 1 Lower Radiator Hose, etc.)PRICEGreat Price, compared to competitorsINSTALLHARD. It took me 3-4 hours alone to get on the hoses correctly, with a really strong friend. The back and smaller hoses were easy. What took us long was putting the clamps back on. I also could not put the clamps back on, on the radiator hoses. 3 Ply Silicone Hoses vs 1 Ply definitely shows a difference. I STRONGLY STRONGLY recommend you go to O'reilly Auto Parts or Autozone to buy HOSE CLAMPS (Worm Hose Clamps, where you have to screw-drive them). Even the hand twist ones were great for me on the Lower Radiator. I wish I didn't spend all that time on the Radiator Hoses... Flushing also took a while.LOOKI hated the install so much that I barely look at it anymore. However, it does look very nice and shiny. The Lower Radiator Hose is underneath the Intake, on the driver's side.With only two long coolant hoses in the back and 1 hose in the front (realistically looking at it), the install doesn't look as impressive as it may have seemed. The middle of the engine bay is still very black.QUALITYThe hoses really seem strong and much more resilient to bending than the stock, or so it seems. Both still retain it's shape after being messed with. There were install problems with the upper radiator hose that is closest to the engine bay. It was bent and it would not seem to fit with the angle, and so the middle of it looks like it's being pinched on it's own. There was NO way to correct this issue.DISLIKESHere's what I did not like. I did not like how the orientation of the JDMFRESH logos were off, so when you open the hood, the JDMFRESH logo is in a spot no one can see.

Nothing against the hoses , but what a royal pain in the butt swapping the factory Scion FRS hoses out.Pleased with the look.Hopefully they outlast the car because I never want to do that again.Top 2 radiator hoses were simple and quick swaps.Bottom hose required removing the cold air intake box but was also relatively easy.The 2 heater hoses were the worst to get off with those stupid spring clamps the factory uses.I used SS T-Bolt clamps on all connections.
