Carbon Fiber Hoods + Windshield washer nozzels?

Post by Tyler17rose »

All of you with CF hoods, what did you do about the washer nozzels? Did you install them on your hood? Or are you making do without them?

I ask because you could adapt another nozzel system like the one on a chevy malibu where the nozzels are attatched to the windshield wipers. Which is what i'm planning on doing if i can ever afford one. :dunno:

If you did install the stock ones on the hood, how hard was it?

Its not only the rain i'm worried about. Its winter driving... windshield gets dirty fast. Or would it be dumb to drive it with the CF hood on in the winter? :shrug:

If all else fails, just drill the holes yourself.

Same way you would drill holes for hood pins on CF.
