Well, let's face it, I'm a dead set sucker for shiny stuff ... doesn't make a difference if is has a purpose or not, so long as it looks sexy!!! lol

I got the braided brake lines in yesterday, and warranted, they are under the vehicle where they'll never be seen, and they are just going to get covered in crap, but how bloody good does a set of shiny, stainless braided lines with powdercoated shiny blue connectors look? Bloody good let me tell you!!!! lmao.

Considering the lengths I've gone to getting rid of all the alloy on the truck, I must admit I loved standing there with the truck on the hoist looking at some shiny gear that I'll never see again!!!! lol

Soooo ... what have you put on your rig, in your house, etc that at the end of the day you could have done without and/or could of gotten a less "sparkly" model, but got anyway coz you succumbed to the 'shiny thing'??

Over to you ...

Be careful what is said around Scotty re: wifeys. He instigates the subject then runs away with his tale between his legs and leaves the other offending party to cop the poo. Hope he or his missus does not have your number as you would get hammered with txt messages. But I am still having a giggle.

I can sympathise with you, I once joked that I needed a new wife because I broke the first one! Late wifes sister didn't see the humour in it like I did - looking back saying that right in front of her was not the smartest thing I've ever done.

I think this is half the reason Superior Engineering sell so much stuff, it's all nickel plated and shiney.

Good to see you got the thread back on topic after hijacking it with the very first reply! Haha.

Hmmmm.... The Braided Brake lines were a winner for me. you will love them, they are awesome. I hve never regretted fitting them regardless of the cost. No brake fade, they catch on fire now before they fade out. AWESOME.
