      Engine Dress Up

      What you guys think about blue/steel hose kits and blue ground wires for the aveo to dress up the engien bay a little bit. I found some nice kits on ebay for about 30-40 bucks. It states that i can gain 4-8HP by changing the ground wires with aftermarket ones...could this be true?

      they are nice to have, the grounding kits will give you a better idle but no way in our cars will it give 4-8hp. We'd get 1hp if lucky

      a good ground kit would be worth spending money on...all the eletronics will work better, but a hose kit is just stupid

      I can't remember how many times I've had to change rubber lines under the hood.... Oh yeah never. The only lines worth doing in my opinion is the rubber brake lines. As for the aesthetics go, yeah stainless or silicone lines do look better than stock black rubber.
