If you don't want to use that cheap pep boys stuff, then your only otehr alternative is buying the real stuff and to replace all your rubber hoses with the braided hoses and the appropriate fittings. Its very costly. Probably out of the range of 99% of all Fiero owners.

IE, it's not worth it unless you're a baller and you've dropped a lot of coin everywhere else on your car.

Functionally it's totally unecessary.

There's nothing wrong with rubber lines and hoses. Trying to make rubber lines look like braided lines is rice. Don't do it. If you insist anyway, Earl's makes stuff that would presumably be better than what you find at Pep-Boys.

ive been doing my car with Aeroquip barb fittings. looks trick and can take 250psi. you can get the hose in black or blue and ofcourse the fittings are blue and red.

cost about 280 bucks for the oil cooler and oil filter lines. about 14 feet of -10 hose and 8 fittings.

sorry for the shitty pics, its all i have right now.

I work at Advance Auto Parts
We stock Mr Gasket brand sleeving kits.
While fairly cheap, they're not horrible looking.

We have them at Consumer Auto Parts as well, if you happen to live in Mass or Vermont.

AutoZone carries it also.
