I appreciate everyone's .02 on this topic, but so many company names and website names have been thrown around I'm a bit confused.......nozzles from here, hoses from there, clips and or zip ties, etc.........It appears there are several ways to configure this. Could a few of you guys who have done this maybe post individual "how to's" on the exact way you tackled the situation w/ some pics......including a parts list and tips or tricks. I'm hoodless right now and when my Trufiber hood comes in I'm going to need to do this mod. Thanks guys.

I will call CDC today, I also got their kit 3 weeks ago, I did open it just to inventory it...I am also hoodless at the moment, but will need this setup very very shortly.
will these nozzles from rockport added to the cdc kit work good, if yes , maybe I will keep the kit and order the nozzles!

I called CDC yesterday, they did some researcg and are pursuing the adhesive possible problem and cure...he told me the anco nozzles that official style is refering to, are the ones they use in the kit...so now Jeff at CDC is scratching his head...I sent him the link to this thread, and he is very concerned, as I knew he would be( their customer sevice is 2nd to none)!
He will be getting back to me, and I will be reporting to him after I get my car back and try the kit.

I plan on getting the TruFiber GTS-2 and I see two possible solutions for nozzle placement. The first is a flat area located behind the raised intake portion of the hood. On the GTS-1 and GTS-2 hoods there appears to be enough area to install the factory squirters without interferring with the cowl piece under the rear of the hood. This cowl piece confuses me as it appears to be where the interior vents get their air input. Why draw air from the engine compartment into the passenger compartment? Must be one of Ford's "Better Ideas". Anyway the second option would be to temporarily remove that cowl and modifiy it to accept Mercury Grand Marquis squirters. My wifes Grand Marquis has two rectangular squirters poking through a cowl which is similar to the Mustang cowl. The angle between it and the windshield looks close to the same angle on the Mustang. I will have to see how the Mercury squirters are mounted on the back side of that cowl. This second option may work for those of you with GT500 front ends and planning on getting the TruFiber Venom hood. If it ever stops raining around here long enough I'll try and get some photos of the Grand Marquis configuration.

I hardly ever use my washers. I just keep my car clean, and use the squeegee thing at the gas pump, if its dirty.

Have not spoke with them at all..Life has gotten very busy, the kit is still in the box, and the car is put away for the winter. To boot, the Trufiber hood had some problems which i am presently trying to work out...Sorry

Okay guys its simple, I used a set of nozzles from Ford that clip to your wiper arms, they are off one of the Ford SUV's, I think its the Excursion but not 100% sure, I'll look around for the part #.

You just have to buy a tee and 5 or 6 feet of hose to make everything work. You'll need to pull your hood cowl off, 4 fasteners, connect the tee to the feed line and then bring each hose up through the wiper arm opening then up the arm to the clip on nozzle, you can use a black zip tie to hold the hose to the arm or do like I did and fill the pocket on the underside of the wiper arm with silicone, feed the hose through it and temporailly tape the hose to the arm until the silicone dries, only an inch or two of hose is exposed.

Got any close up shots? Silicone thing sound decent but even an inch of exposed hose is kind of deterring me from this.
