True, but it's tough to install a pre-bent line depending on application.

I have yet to change lines on a Forward Look, but of what I've done (several
GM vehicles of various vintages) there's always at least one line that's a
lot easier to install if it's done in two sections.  It all depends on what
the line has to feed through and if it has to dip up or down in the middle
to clear something.  That would be my main consideration before I ordered a
pre-bent line, were I going for an all out show car.  Most of the ones I've
done I just use stuff from the parts store and live with it.  The ready to
bend lines sound like a better option - a bender only costs about $10 and
isn't too hard to use.


Can't imagine what the shipping would run on a main front to rear line for a
truck like my Suburban - the line's almost as long as the truck and about
2/3 the width.
