CF washer pissers

If you have your old OEM hood you can transfer them over to the CF hood..thats what I did...used a little super glue to hold them in place...or if you just want to close up the holes go to Pep Boys or Advanced auto parts..and get a firewall plug..its just a flat rubber plug...easily installed ..plus they are like 2 bucks for 6 or 8 count... or go to the junk yard and get them off a regular lancer...

I had to open the holes a little with a file....all CF parts are inperfect...I have fenders too...they were a real $^#^#$ to install...The OEM ones will fit...they just need a little persuation.

OK heres the key to getting them to fit. You may need to drill just a little bit. But once you have them in where you want them stick a small nail in through the bottom of the nozzle and that is what holds it down.

If you don't understand PM and I will give you my cell # its really easy if you think about it

I cut a little around the oem squirters to make them fit and now it works perfect.

The holes were pre-drilled and only one fit in mine. I just drive without them since I throw out the reservoir.

A dremel with a sanding cone/bit is your best friend. 2 minutes with that, and I had both washer nozzles installed and working. Good Luck.
