Default Bought a VIS CF hood, and my damn squirters wont fix.

I have a VIS CF hood, and my stock windshield wiper squirters wont fix. I tried to modify it and they still wont fit in. I dont wanna drill my CF hood. Ive tried some off of an older civic and integra..

Anyone wanna help me?

Im gonna guess the holes too small?
I used to own a VIS hood for my old civic and I had the same problem.
You havt to drill, but don't be scared I've drilled into every hood I've owned.
Buy a drill bit thas used on glasses and plastic, they're soft.

i have a jdmshit hood and mine was the same way... that's just the way they are, i drilled mine out... it's not that hard to do, just do a little at a time and keep checking to see if they fit, go slow, and there should be no problems.

oh ya, i guess if you don't want to drill holes for your squirters, then i'm assuming you're not going to get pins

Exactly. Using a Dremel would be an easy way to widen them up

when i get my carbon fiber hood , i hope it doesn't come with windshield washer squirter holes, i think it looks cleaner without them.


back to the topic i would just use a file to widen the hole up a little.

theyre probably just pilot holes, so its easy to locate the squirter
