^ i actually did not use the extra tubings i bought. i just replaced the nozzles and pulled the stock hose to get a little more and plugged the hose into the nozzles, works perfectly fine, so i would suggest not to get extra hoses just the nozzles, at least for the 99-00 civic coupes.

o dam... that sounds like a nice mod.... ive hated the civics washers for that very reason... clearing the salt spray off is a huge PITA with the two squirts.
you should make a DIY for that since im sure alot of people hate the 2 squirts!

and about the hoses just replace them.. i do on my car... no one likes a nasty brownish yellow hose at a show just cut off a piece of yours and go to lowes or home depo and buy some new clear vinyl tubing. i always replace mine.

I bought the RSX washer nozzle parts for the conversion, ebay'd a type R grille (FINALLY), ebay'd some tuner lugs so I can get my summer tires on, and am looking at some aerosol touchup paint so I can color match the grille, fog bezels, lips, side skirts, mirrors, and handles. I'll probably end up doing those a few at a time.

As long as they're tight to where they won't come loose, it should be fine.
