Firebird washer bottle

Any good ideas for a hidden or better looking washer bottle?

I see the 4th gen one is kinda a pain for the birds

Re: Firebird washer bottle

Back in the early 2000's I put in this 1991 Ford Explorer Combination Washer Fluid & Overflow Bottle assembly in my car. I saw it wandering through a junkyard one day and thought Hmm. Got the Explorer's plug and a section of wiring for the washer pump, spliced it into my Firebird's wiring so the washer fluid worked like stock.

I built one out of a universal overflow bottle and universal pump. It's pretty small, but I rarely use it and like that it's more or less hidden.

Re: Firebird washer bottle

Gonna stuff this one in the bumper right behind the license plate area. Made for honda accord. Kinda small, but i seldom need to refill the 4th gen i have installed. That one partly blocks air flow to the radiator. If this doesnt work out. Im gonna shorten the 4th piece so it doesnt block the air. Thats the stock washer pump on the honda part.
