Great Windshield wiper nozzles!

Great Windshield wiper nozzles!
I was browsing around and found a thread that mentioned new windshield wiper sprays. I *Think* it was Bruce from here in Boston... so credit goes towards that idea if it was him.
Anyways, I called up Bill P (Spins4) from Westborough Mitsubishi. They are vendors here so please do call him up and order it from him. For a modest $8 a pair plus any shipping costs, this is what I've been searching for... for years.
I've always wanted the "flat" windshield wiper spray for my cars, but could never find one that fit... and when I did, it was $21 a nozzle from a dealer. This is from a 2004 Mitsubishi Galant.

They fit like a charm. The passenger side I just used the long hose and bent it around. So far it doesn't kink. It's perfect either way... so for you Evo owners...... flat sprayer nozzles, yay!
Not the best images, I tried to change a lot of settings, but it's hard to get the right
angle/reflection. The best seem to be the ones taken from inside my car:

A quick synopsis of taking it out: I used a long needle nose plier to "push" on the nozzle side towards the spray nozzles. A little wiggle, and out it pops.
I disconnected the hose right in the inside (there's this little plastic adapter near the nozzle). Then just hooked up the new nozzles after snipping the hose a little shorter so it wouldn't flop around or kink.
Ta da...

Plug and play.. it just drops in, if anything easier than the stock nozzles, but it's designed with a catch so it'll go in easy. Looks almost identical to stock, no difference in size nor shape.

You know, up intil the other day when you told me about this little, "mod", I never really noticed how crappy the Evo ones spray. That really is a big difference. Good job Steve!
Oh ya, I'll have 10 sets in stock on Monday

I installed these today, and it shoots a little too high. Most of it hits the windshield, but it also hits the roof. I'd imagine wiper fluid will not hurt the paint over time, right?

Where do you think it goes when you use the stock ones on the highway and the stuff blows up the windshield?

I installed mine yesterday and they are AWESOME! I get the same overspray on to the roof and some on the side glass, but it covers the entire windshield evenly and is a huge improvement over the stock sprayers.
