Does anyone know where I could purchase colored windshield washers ? Those two large black washers on my hood are driving me nuts, thanks

Do you mean the windshield washer nozzles? If so, just take them off, scuff them with some fine-grit sandpaper and spray a few coats of spray paint... something with some flex that is made to go on plastics.

You could always get black racing stripes, like I did. Then, the wiper nozzles will match the paint around them and blend in.

Ya I agree, Why did Ford put those on the hood!!?? They would be way better on the wiper or under the hood lip.

1) I like the black nozzles on my Torch hood. They are an accent. (I never was all that much into the monochrome look).

2) You can use the nozzles from a Lincoln LS. They are color matched, so you should be able to get one close (if not the same) color as your hood.

Someone else did this mod a LONG time ago (January? February?)

I agree also... before I had my black stripes on, the wiper nozzles never bothered me. If you make the nozzles match, you might as well get the antenna to match too... or at least the plastic base that is touching the car. And of course the side mirror housings. But then you also have those two black trim pieces running along the outsides of the roof above the doors. And where does it end?

By the way, we need a "troll" smiley.
