Default braided brake lines (full car)

Hiya does anyone know if you can get braided lines but the full car length? so from master cylinder down to the calipers? seen you can get braided fuel hoses from tank to front and for metering unit..

need to replace some on the turbo, know they would cost a lot more like but they would look nice! thats if they are made anyways.

You can, all my lines are fully braided. Measure the copperlines then email a hose company and get them made up.
