Very nice.

The fittings on the upper hose look like they're on backwards.

are those actual stainless braided lines, or the sleeves that slip over the rubber lines...

eitherway, looks awsome.

Can you paint the coolent tank? that might be a bad idea b/c you wouldnt be able to see how much was in it though...

Nope the fittings are on right there is a slot for the hose clamp and it only goes one way. These are just sleeves over stock hoses. As for the plastic tanks im going to buy both of them.

Looks real good man, a little chrome can go a long way

I would suggest going to the dealership and getting new coolant and washer fluid resivors though, didnt realize how bad mien were until i replaced em and they really brightened up the underhood.
