My Protege is a 1991, so I don't really know what would work best for you......do a search on the forum.......I am pretty sure that it's been covered before.........I could give you the measurements for the 1st gen Pro, but I am not sure if that would work for you....

I asked my bf the same thing and he told me to buy 1 of every size which from NOPI was like $70 w/o the zippies. ugh, there is a post about this in the interior/exterior area and it is called engine dress up. Check it out. I think they specifiy 1/2 and 3/4 hoses as being used and they even give a pic. It is alcoholidays (spelling??) car & thread!
to expand: i only used wire loom. not the braided hose covers are really nice but really expensive.

i only had 1/4" and 1/2" loom. 20 feet of each. probably used 60% of that.

i'd suggest using 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4".

i overdid it in mine though so i'm going to remove some of it tonite. i'm still on the fence whether it looks good. trying to decide whether, if i was a mechanic and opened the hood, i would start laughing.

it's especially questionable in mine b/c i have no engine mods at this time. i just did it to give it some show and for something to do.
