Jay, I had those AQP fittings also and they really didn't look good w/ the C&R oil filter mount, which is black. I now have XRP hypalon black braided hoses w/ black fittings. The hoses are not stainless though, they are braided w/ nomex and coated w/ the hypalon abrasive resistant coating, if you order them without the hypalon coating the hoses are a dark gray w/ a gold colored thread in it, the hypalon colors the hose dark black. The problem is, you can't assemble them like what you have now. They are reusable but have a crimp on collar, to reuse them you have to cut the collar, slide the fitting on a hose w/ a new collar and recrimp.
Here's a lousy pic, you can see the hoses on the oil filter mount (the big black thing in the front) They are black, the flash makes the hose look gray, the collars are gold.
