Don't know about the aftermarket, but new fuel lines still seem to be
readily available thru the dealer, a pair should run about $150 or so.

I swapped in a used feed line on a coupe once, it will be a *lot* easier
on a lift, I needed several feet of clearance to swing it into place
without unnecessary bending.  otherwise, pretty easy to do.

it will be even easier if you cut out the battery tray now and move it
to the trunk!
