Default Stainless Fuel lines 95-99 Monte

Does someone on here know if there is a company manufacturing stainless steel fuel lines that are identical to the original lines when it comes to the
plastic/rubber up front? I want the original look but in stainless.

I would imagine that the Stainless is available but you would need to have it custom bent to the cars specs.

I don't know how the 5th gen fuel line whips are, but, I can tell you what I did with my 2004 Monte. I wanted the same thing you mentioned, keep the factory look. I had Inline Tubing crimp ends for me to use quick connects. I used my original nylon lines and added quick connect fittings from SUR&R (they use a crimp on clamp and super easy and reliable). I could have also used the coupling fitting (as it would have taken a little less room to make it all fit).

There are lots of places that sell pre-bent lines, some in stainless too. No idea on fitment, Ive never seen anyone on here actually buy them. Ive also never seen one with the plastic section included, you usually have to install that yourself.

SStubes appears to have a set in stainless for the 5th gen, but again no plastic.

Personally I just got a roll and bent my own.

So, this will be tough to figure out. Going by the microfiche info, 95 also had different connections than the other years.

I did see some of the pre-bent sites excluded 95 while others included it. I wonder if thats a mistake and theyre not aware 95 isnt interchangeable?

Either way IMO you best bet is to just pop the stock one off and self bend your own. That way you know it's exactly right and has the right thread fittings.

It was a pain to flare the stainless brake lines I imagine fuel lines might be worse, and have to look for different flare tools. But, yeah, might be ending up doing this.
Also need the vacuum line. Darn.
