Dude, you gotta read the writeup!

Now, for the washer situation. I didn't want a ghetto install of the washer bottle, so I did some creative wiring. Because the car is a GXL, it came with headlight washers - and the reservoir was on the drivers side. Now, since I've used them a grand total of 3 times in 5 years, I decided that I could do without them. I rewired the pump (you can see the old connector in the second pic - the green wires are the new ones) so that the reservoir that used to be for the headlight washers now does the windshield. The only visual difference is that the washer tubes now go up the drivers side of the car instead of the passenger's side.

So in all, I have a new cold air intake, and all I had to give up was my seldom used headlight washers - I think I made the right choice. I hope you guys like it!

LOL, since he ^ did it first, i want a pic too! The areas that I'm interested in are the pass-thru that he cut and the space available behind the fender - i don't recall there being enough space for anything back there...

The car is in storage for the winter right now, so I can't take pics - but when I get home this evening I'll see what old pics I have lying around. In essence the PVC pipe comes out beside the brake duct, about 6-8 inches back of the air damn. I didn't want it hanging down where it could hit things like curbs or wildlife. If I can't get a good pic, I'll make a nice diagram!

I posted the entire writeup again half way down page 5. All the pics that I had for this thread should be there in working order. I will look tonight to see if I can find any additional pics that will help out. I'll post what I have, and if you want I can email them to you as well.

Keep yer pants on - I'll look for some pics!
Once I removed the washer bottle and rewired it properly (As described in the writeup) There was a surprising amount of room back there. Plenty to run the tube where I wanted, and line it up properly.
