I have no idea how to help you but that bumper is awesome. Don't listen to any other clowns on this forum that say the grill is ugly. If I still had my em2 I would swap that bumper on. Try to recount it else where, find a smaller Honda washer bottle.

thanks aj... people saying that the grille is ugly are entitled to be stupid. Just cau'se u can't ROCK IT doesn't mean its ugly. LAWLS. well it looks ugly in different colors esp the tan, but it looks dead SEXY in silver with fogs. i have to say, i hated it too at first but i knew i needed to buy the fogs before going forward.

any suggestions with what honda reservoir is small with a long neck?

Why dont you run a longer length of hose to a reservoir you placed somewhere else?

Just because someone doesn't like what you like, doesn't make them stupid. Diff'rent strokes, dude.


I like the Hybrid bumper, just not the grill. When/if I get one, I'll be modifying that part.

Where exactly is it touching the reservoir? Would a heat-gun and some manipulation fix the problem?

Well, I could have rocked it... but I thought it was ugly. But, that's entirely subjective. What suits one person doesn't necessarily suit the other. We're not all robots.

I'd say that the hybrid washer bottle would be your best option. OEM fitment makes things easy.
