I've looked around at sleeve kits and they seem to run about $20-$25... while at work today I was in out "Domestic Performance" section, if you could call it that, and was looking for something that I could maybe use in a mod project... a couple things caught my eye. B) And while rummaging around in the overstock area I came across some new convoluted sleeving, for under the hood dress up. So hmm... I bought it(6' x 1/2") for $2 and some change(without using my discount). After getting home I opened it up and it's rather nice(a little kinked from being in the package) but very flexable and somewhat stretchy. I hopped on over to the makers website(spectreperformance.com (http://www.spectreperformance.com)) and found that they have full kits available. I wen't to thier eBay store and they have a full sleeve kit for $17.99 +$7 s&h... so tomorrow on my day off I'll go into work and see what the price is throught the store, my guess is the $17.99 or less... and if I have to order it, its free shipping(even regular customers). So I'm thinking of getting a kit, no matter the cost just to see and give it a try.

McMaster.com roxs for sleeving... at least when it's black in color. ;)

I've never been so happy to have a 100ft roll of the 1/4" sleeveing lately.
I've been doing so much sleeving the last few days; it's starting to make me ill. Spent all night (6pm-1am) working on one cable assembly for the front buttons. :rolleyes:

You'll have to watch the ATTN2Detail thread (http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/77909585/m/815002857631/r/733008548631#733008548631) at ARs to see the results tho.
