Anyone else have the GT Concept hood?

I haven't posted on here in awhile so hope I don't get flamed for this. But I just got the GT Concept hood. I was seeing if anyone else had one, tried to do a search but not much luck. There are no holes for the windshield nozzles, which I can try to make some but I really don't want to risk cracking the cf. Is there any other place I can place them that, I mean has anyone else relocated them? Also, I was a bit worried about the wide open vents and water getting into the bay from a carwash and what not. I realize water does get in with the stock vents but there is no guards underneath the new hood. I did find one thread a couple years old showing someone pressure washing the engine with the car running so that made me feel a little more at ease. But if anyone has any input or bad experiences please let me know.

Thanks. I was thinking about putting it there too. I'll give it a shot and hope I don't screw it up. Yea, from various posts I don't think I shold be concerned about extra water in the engine bay.

dude, no, just buy the ones that clip on the windshield washer arm and about 5 feet of tubing. Pontiac and GM use them stock.

The measuring for the holes is easy. Use a high rpm drill and use masking tape over the spot you need to drill.

where'd you get your hood? If i'm not mistaken I have the same one and mine has holes and clips for routing the lines.

Hey OP,

As long as you aren't directly like SHOOTING water through the vents (ex: car wash) you should be fine.

As for the washer nozzles, a high speed dremmel and some painter's tape is the ticket. That's how I installed my aerocatch hood pins.
