$35 per hose ...not too bad considering its aluminum and stainless steel.

The black hoses are not all that pretty, but whatever hoses Honda uses from the factory are damn good. Mine are still in good shape after 16 years and 233,000 miles. I keep checking them and expect to have to replace them, but they last and last.

I can't say that I have the stock belts. I replaced them both times I replaced the timing belt. The first time I used Bando belts (OEM) ordered online. The second time I used Gates belts from NAPA.
