Steve, thanks for the comment. Actually the sheen in the fuel line pictures is deceiving - the fuel line is the Russell Pro Classic 3/8" line that Edelbrock supplies with their Pro-Flow XT EFI kit, and is a black poly/fabric braid material which is much easier to work with, much like nylon rope fibers. I elected to use what they provided rather than replace it with higher dollar stainless sheathed tube, figuring I can change it out later without much trouble if I don't like the way the Pro Classic stands up over time. For now I think the black cover with blue dot highlights will be OK against a black frame.
