Evo 9 w/ Carbon Fiber Hood.
I'm looking into getting a Seibon OEM Style CF Hood for my evo. But on the 9s, the sprayer tank is located in the trunk, so the wiper sprayers are routed differently. Are there those little clips on the underside of the hood to guide the hose on? If not how do you guys route the sprayer hoses? Secondly, are the wiper sprayers hard to remove?

On all USM Evos the windshield washer reservoir tank is mounted in the truck. You should have no problem with the washer tubing routing...I'd be more concerned with the fact that the VIIIs have a pointed hood and the IXs are flat at the front...

So are the sprayer nozzles easy to clip off?

Some cf hoods might weigh more than OEM. Make sure it's lighter before you buy.
