They look decent, though I'd be wary of "ebay" parts that aren't a known name. There was one brand that I'd trust above all else for radiator hoses (other than OEM), and I can't remember it... searching is not refreshing my memory, either!

Just my opinion:

The only ugly hose I would say is ugly is one that is leaking (and NEEDS replacing).

If its not leaking I would not replace it. All the rest of the hoses are black so why are they not ugly too?

When you replace with these blue ebay ones the engine bay will just look unoriginal and inconsistent. I also dont trust plasticy looking ones when I know a new oem will last another 20 yrs (and they don't look gimmicky glossy or cheapo plastic).

I would say spend your money on something that does matter, change your air filter, fuel filter, oil filter, regas your air con, change your wiper inserts a wheel alignment or even auto transmission fluid change or save for a preventative CV boots replacement. All these things are small but often overlooked.

My advise is replacing something not required or non preventative because its ugly (though its OEM = as it should be = extremely reliable) is just a waste of $$ which i am sure you will need (on something more important) sooner rather than later due to the age of our cars.
