Looks pretty cool actually. It looks like a piece of molded clear plastic pipe that they clamped onto a chopped up Samco hose. God forbid you put something "different" on this site..

Glass on an engine bay? I think that is asking for trouble...

It's not totally glass. It's Pyrex. A much stronger sort of glass with higher boiling point. It sucks that that website doesn't have price listings for each of the hoses. Guess I'll have to email them.

while you're at it, tell him to change the hood to a clear/glass as well.

unless you're popping your hood everywhere you go, i don't see the point.

If it does then we can route all coolant lines through the front grill area for some night bling.

I mean it would be nice to see your anti freeze flowing through but thats about it, imo. Not a fan of the lights and all that other bs.

Well it sure "looks" cool, but be very careful with replacing a flexible hose with a rigid section of pipe. The material itself may be able to withstand the high temp, but it took away the flexibility of a rubber hose. I would not be surprised to see it gets ripped out of the clamps and spewing coolant all over.
