It seemed inappropriate to post comments relating to another chassis series at the end of it, so here'tis...
I recently bought via Fleabay, four "CP Racetec" SS sheathed brake hoses with black vinyl overlay so they look "sorta" factory. Price was AUD$120.09 into my letterbox, only gripe being the parcel did not have a tracking number - just signature required. They look passable, and come with rubber grommets for the U-clips on the struts.
My reason for buying? Well, the fronts (original to the 2005 calipers) are showing disturbing signs of the outer rubber cracking on close examination; while this would be probably not spotted on a roadworthy I deemed it silly (irresponsible) to remain. Rears looked OK, but I felt it more a question of when they would appear cracked - not if.
Having read up on bleeding the brakes with MES, I'm not overly looking forward to it - this sounds like one of the software's areas where it's still a bit ragged.
what model car you bleeding brakes on
