Hose Candy or Braided lines

What do you all use? Hose Candy or Braided lines. Please post pictures with the explanation. I am starting by installing a catch Can. I want it to look like it has braided lines. Mine has allot of Braided protection on the hoses already.

Any suggestions Please:

Not sure what hose candy is, but this is what my Bob's now looks like, since I started using braided hoses.

I didn't care for the looks of the standard hoses and clamps. The braided AN hoses are overkill for this application and kind of pricy. So is the Hose Candy stuff. I got some Nylon Monofilament Sleeving (similar to what's covering some of the other hoses) for a dollar a foot and some shrink wrap to finish the ends. I did the driver side hose to match.

I’m currently running black rubber hose, but have experimented with others:

Coyote That is what I am looking for and the reason for this thread. I want to find the same look as the Covering that Fords uses. Only thing I can find is Hose candy or Techflex. Parts express sells several different colors for around .50 per foot.

I got this stuff here: http://www.cableorganizer.com/nylon/?gcssku=BSNY100

1 inch Nylon monofilament braid. I picked up some 1 1/8" shrink wrap at the local parts store.

What size hose did you use? The Mustang uses a 1/2 ID?

I bought the Bob's catch can with the standard hoses and clamps. I believe the ID is 5/8" but the OD is just under 1". And, the hoses are the same size as used on the driver's side so the 1" nylon covers that hose too!
