You really think the oil lines will get hot enough to bother you when mounted on the out side ??

The previous owner of my car ran his radiator lines stright up the middle under the center tunnel. (it was a V8 car) Would have been nifty if there was actually a recess there. I guess his train of thought was that if he bottomed out in this area, he probably had bigger issues than worrying about the cooling lines. However, I would be worried about road junk constantly battering the lines.

can't agree more with a cover, hot oil under pressure can give a nasty burn, although it is much cooler than radiator fluid, for which you for sure need protection from leaks. Learned from experience, ouch!!! it was hot!!!
Running them outside along the passenger side rocker, then up into the gas tank ( as shown on the black photo 2 posts ago) area behind the strut is really easy and you won't burn ourself or your passenger with hot oil lines.

I agreed with the folks that say keep the oil lines out of the passenger area in case something bad happens. Here are some pics of my car:

Especially if you use a sandwhich plate, the passenger side is a natural...
plus, it moves weight over to the passenger side and helps offset the drivers weight.
On the street car, we did outside the longs and up the inside of the front fender. We made a plastic inner fender liner that covers the lines completely so stop any rocks (although i don't think that is absolutely necessary)
