Exclamation Has anyone seen this engine?

Can anyone tell me how this person got all the blue lines and hoses? I've already done my vacuum lines but where did he get that kind of radiator hose? What's the diameter of that hose? And as many of you probably already know there are many heavy duty lines in the 1UZ-FE engine but this person seems like he got the EXACT same lines but just in blue. Any idea who I would have to go through to do exactly what he did? I just need some heavy duty blue hose for the thick ones back near the firewall and the radiator hoses...

No, I'm pretty sure the radiator hose is a direct replacement...I saw it somewhere before. The stock radiator hose is about 1" thicker than that blue hose. There's no way that blue radiator hose would fit over the black stock radiator hose that comes in the LS 400's...that's just what I believe to be true. I have already replaced many lines with blue lines but some hoses are thick and I don't have blue hose as thick as some of the ones in that pic like the ones by the fire wall and the big thick one that goes into the intake.
