Default Aggrivated...with my stupid self and these brittle cowls...

OK, so I go the bright idea the other night of trying to fix my windshield washer nozzles. In the process I all but destroy the entire cowl. Now, it was already cracked in 3 places mind you, but literally, just touching it cracked it more lol. SO basically all said and done, I ripped it off in a billion pieces in a rage because I was so pissed off, knowing full well a replacement was going to run me a few hundred bones. And i still have to buy new washer nozzles lol. The question is, are there any other options than the factory replacement>? I don't like the looks of the washer nozzles or the setup, i was just curious if anyone else had replaced their cowl with something else. It would be too much work I think to do one of my famous aluminum one-off pieces lol. Any thoughts or opinions?

Thats true...but my entire car needs repainted lol. I was hoping to hold off on that until next few years. Hell I'm not going to be able to drive the stang after about another month anyways...I might just as well park it now, damn.

only downside to the cf one is it doesnt have the little vent slits, not sure if they are needed but it may be something to look into
