I've bought 3 sets so far from Magnum Shielding and don't regret it.

They will work with you and build exactly the color, length and configuration you want. Take a look at their Chromite color. It is as bright as chrome and doesn't yellow or crack like most others. They are also lifetime lubed.

Another great thing about them is once you get the exact cables designed they keep a record of the order and can fab a replacement without you having to remeasure.

+ 1 for magnum shielding. I got my brake line from them (black pearl) thru drag specialties.
