$75 more with the holes?! what's wrong with buying one and drilling out the holes yourself?

are you confusing those prices because of the different brands?

i don't have holes myself.. but i do sometimes wish i had nozzles to spray something on the windshield to clean things off every so often..

i don't want to have holes though... so i gotta figure something else out.

if i got a cf hood, it would be undrilled...

as it stands right now, i've take out the washer reservoir and the tubing leading to the nozzles anyways. I never used it, so why not?

well.. if you dont use it then that's awesome as a resevoir full of fluid does weigh a bit... save you on weight.

though.. i did use it quite a bit before i got the new hood... so yeah... i have to keep reminding myself not to squirt crap everywhere on the inside of my engine bay as the tube just kinda hangs there (but neatly placed on top of the cowl)

and yea...

hmmm... any way you could T the tube off and extend it and attach it to each wiper arm?

spray the fluid right in front of the moving wiper

I was going to suggest the same thing. My old 95 Corsica had the wiper nozzles on the blades. I'm sure you could mock something up like that.

buy it without and drill them urself if you want them...when i got mine, they were predrilled and cost the same as the ones without holes...but i still had to drill the underside of the hood so i could get the washer on the back of the nozzle to tighten it
