My mx-3 doesn't have washers installed on the hood. I'm thinking about this kit. Does it looks it will fit?

This is an awesome idea. I've been thinking of this for years. I hate our stock squirters, I am so jealous of the fine misting spray that the GF's honda does. Ours is useless, even after being properly aimed.

When I got my CF hood, I put the squirters in the wiper cowl, could always use squirters from any vehicle really

This is the drivers side, I added the extra one for more spray, its just on with a piece of mechanics wire but Im going to pick up some metal banding and redo it so it looks stock.

Image
This is the passenger side, once it warms up to make it 100% stock looking I plan on pulling the arm off and boring a hole in the lower part of the arm that hides the spring and feeding the washer tube through there like they used to, then there will be no zipties!

You can probably run tubing underneath the arm and just glue it with maybe some epoxy glue? That would really clean it up and repaint wiper arms

Why can't squirters be mounted in the wiper deck, out of sight?

Hey! Seriously though I only posted these to show how the nozzles clip on, the install can be done much cleaner, I just put these on using what I had on hand so I could use my hood as winter was fast approaching and I didnt have funds to do it right. Using the smaller diamater plastic tubing and running them through the arm with a small hole they look much much better, just google a late model oldsmobile and youll see a better pic.

that's still BETTER what I have, cause I don't have anything since Ive installed c/f hood ( I was a dumb kid wasting my money)
Every time my windshield gets dirty I have to wait till rain hits it or splashes from oncoming traffic lol

I've seen those before, they're way too expensive imo and have to come all the way from Britain.
