to do real braided hoses is increadably expensive and requires a cheap special tool (double flare tool) and a little knowhow. To me its so not worth it unless you need it. They do make the hose covering kits but i would have low expectations of those.

What are you guys talking about? Goodridge sells a stainless brake line kit for $213 that's available from Tirerack (link). There's no need to make your own stainless lines, and to install them is cake.

Undo the banjo bolt from the caliper, undo the nut that connects the old brake line to the hard line, connect the new lines with new copper washers, bleed/flush the brakes with good synthetic fluid, and you're off! If you want them colored, pick up some colored wiring loom, and just wrap the lines in that!
