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...

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.
