VA should make the uncut hoses an option, not a standard feature of their Sure Fit kits. My Sure Fit kit came with completed hoses and they fit perfectly. I would have been a little pissed if I had to add the crimp fittings myself for a kit that I ordered for a specific compressor type and location.

Only suggestion I would make is to wrap the hot water valve in a heat shield. It is very close to the passenger exhaust manifold, and I cooked two of them before I wrapped the third one. VA did replace the valve for free both times though.
