Now I have, and I think I'm <br>ready to start making those lines myself. The cost would be similar <br>to the Stainless lines, but this material is much easier to work <br>with. It's much easier to bend and to form the VW bubble flare.<br><br>I'm also thinking that since I'm making these myself, if you sent me <br>your old line, I could pre-install all the rubber grommets that are <br>otherwise impossible to get over the line nuts without tearing.
