I think I'm going to get body-colored ones, probably off the MDX unless somebody can find a better match.

They are shaved when I have my CF hood on, you can see pics on my cardomain page (not up close or anything).

some cars don't have them at all.
with my dad's grand prix, the hood is clean, and the washer fluid comes out of the wipers themselves, i think thats much better, cause on the max, the washers aren't good at different speeds (and it looks stupid).

Just curious, but how do you plan on spraying your windshield with wiperfluid afterwards?

Most people don't. They just remove all the lines and the resvoir. I mean if you wash your car every week the windshield is not going to get that dirty anyways.

well first off i rarely use them. second, i looked around and you could easily fit a different type "under the hood" (hard to explain but its where they are on a lot of newer cars/trucks)

Interesting...I know here is southern ontario, there have been many times i needed them..maybe it is because of the climate (slush w/ salt being sprayed up, mud, etc from trucks).
