Where did you save? I am planning on doing exactly as you have except painted semi glass black.

Refurb Booster on Ebay ~ $120 w/shipping
Cptn Brackets & Plate ~ $70
Lines ~ $110 (includes four -6 AN TFE fittings and 6ft of TFE hose)
Hydroboost Fittings on Ebay ~$28 w/ shipping

That comes out to $328. There were other nominal cost such as a barb T fitting from Home Depot and hose clamps. To save costs I only used the teflon for the high pressure lines. The return line is regular stainless hose. I had an extra piece left over from an earlier project. That stuff is pretty cheap (6ft @ $25). You could save there by using 3/8" rubber hose. In the end I had leftover fittings. That's because I converted my PS lines to TFE last year and the high pressure line off the PS pump was long enough to reach the booster. So in all I have closer to $350 invested. That includes the fittings below.
