Those are engine coolant lines for the TB. No coolant goes into the TB intake. lol.

It only needed two coats for the black, but so far nothing has chipped off. You'll want to use a clear coat.Well, after not rotating the tires for 25,000 miles , I paid the price, two new wheels... darn . What happened was my dad took the Vibe in to get a tire checked, works at Sears 10% discount, it was losing alot of air, and we couldn't find a nail... turns out that is was a nail, my second, they repaired it and notice the back set was looking a bit...well...a bit balding...so my dad got them replaced... new wheels up front and good wheels in the back.
