Default cf hood question..

Ok... So I finally bought the cf kaminari reverse cowl hood.. I know it doesn't come pre-drilled with holes, so what do you guys think about drilling holes in it??? I think it would look better without the washer nozzles in, but then do I have to take out the spray lines and the fluid tank and everything?? Need a little help here.. I'll be getting the hood in about 2-3 weeks so I got some time to do some thinking... It would be a hell of a lot easier just to have the holes drilled and just stick the nozzles back on... BUT... What do I need to do if I dont want the nozzles?? What do I need to remove?? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks guys

Some guys run without the nozzles and take out everything.... some guys keep the nozzles and drill the holes.... which is pretty easy....

It's all based on preference.... I personally live in an area where I need to nozzles, so I'd drill them definately... if you live in a dry climate... you can buy a nice microfiber towel and keep it for those needed times...

Whatever you prefer... that's the deal. either way has a comprimise.

hey so did anyone drill the holes for their nozzles??? I just got my CF hood back from the paint shop, had another clear coat shot on it and I want to put my nozzles on. Anyone got some info on that. Like what drill bit did you use - how did you route the washer lines? etc etc. Thanks!

i would use a dremel if you're going to attempt that. and routing washer lines depends on the hood.. if it's even possible.. but i've seen people just connect it and let it dangle there.

I Like it with no holes. You can buy a kit that runs them to your wipers instead.
