    yeah its a rice(y) item but it has its benefits as a window on your coolant's level and, condition(oil, bubble free). thats why i dont feel ricey for having it. i will only put the leds on if i think it helps view the coolant or if i ever show my car again as it looks cool(but spendy). i will work on installing it today or tomorrow and with the ice blue coolant that bmw and race motorcycles use. i think you will see thier clear intercooler pipes on cars soon too, another window on the inside.

    It's more of the bling factor. We went to a car show and saw a Charger have one and though it was pretty neat idea... So we bought one for the Challenger.

    I would use the heat shrink clamps, looks much cleaner than metal clamps. I can take a picture of the one we have on the Challenger to give you an idea what it looks like.

    if all you wanted was to view the coolant; i'd suggest a white LED, not a colored one.

    yes, it's a little pricey; but in all fairness, i just spent a LOT of coin for an awesome plenum too. (many thanks, april!)

    the other thing i like about it is that it will match my car at night...(one day...once it's finally painted).

Plus it doesnt really look that clean with a piece of glass shoved in between two rubber stock hoses that are cut up. Is there a reason you guys are wanting this? Just to see coolant and have flashy light? Sorry, im not trying to be rude, I would just like the purchasers point of view.
    Mine was free... obviously I couldn't beat that. Plus, it doesn't look like shit.

    after waiting for another heat shrink clamp to finally get here its fully installed. you have to line up the heat shrink on the hose end perfect with the samco rad hose. its thickness gives you one chance and since mine had to be perfect i had to cut the heatshrink band off(was to tight to remove without heat applied yet) and order another. i used alcohol and a swab to remove the green label off the clamps.



    killer glass section with 2 clamps and 2 leds shipped was 249.00
    samco rad hose 50.00(set was 100)
    blue ice coolant 22.95(1/2 gal)X6= 137.00

    seems like a lot of wasted money.. I like the idea of the clear tube, but if Im paying 200.00 for a hose it better at least be the full hose..
