black tape? im sorry, but i stopped applying tape to cover up lights on my dash when i stopped driving suzuki swifts. Like i said, ive seen some nightmares that had to do with TPMS. I would rather have neither (washers or tpms) but because its like one or the other (american car or canadian car) im glad i have the washers. if any part of it stops functioning, i likely wont notice, and if i do, wont care.
and marc, its not about keeping your car clean, sometimes on a long drive in really shitty winter weather your car can get so dirty, you dont want to stop and wash the car twice before you get to your destination.
those are shots of my old lancer after a 50km drive last winter on a perticularily bad day. The car was washed the day before.

Why not just pull the fuse for the headlight washers? I did that within an hour of taking delivery of my car over 5 years ago and I haven't had to worry about the stupid things since. All they do is spray a ton of fluid all over the front of my clean car.

I don't know what the other guys with the Speed bumper did, but I took off the nozzle, stuck a big bolt into the tube to plug it and then hose clamped it.

If your 8 is CDN it does, I think their stupid. They should have been made flush mounted to the bumper like beamers do it. Not sticking out. Plus once you go new bumper, they become obsolete, no way in hell are your gonna start cutting into your new mspeed bumper or other bumper just so you can maintain the washers.
useless, they should have given us all the TPMS sensors.

These things have been a godsend to me already.

Thief, you are absolutely correct!!! I was gasping already when I saw that pic! I refuse to let Natalia become as dirty as a **** that white Lancer was 
Anyhow, Jay was right too, I did post a pic from last year when my car was COMPLETELY COVERED in ice/snow. If this year is as bad as next year, I'll post up some Dirty Natalia pics.
FYI, with the weather as it is now, I've been on my winter-wash cycle, which is only like once every 2 - 3 weeks. It's impossible to wash these days when the day after it's going to rain/snow.

You dont need sensors in your winter tires, it gets into the whole, I NEED WINTER PERFORMANCE TIRES, cause I wanna drive past 160 KM/H. The tpms sensors are really desgined sturdy, barely do I see posts about them failing on the forum. Only thing I could ask for is a digital gauge readout of the psi, but thats just for novelty sake.
Winter performance tires aren't only differentiated by higher speed limits of the tire versus regular winter tires.
I just got to say this one last line hahahahha:
"Dunlop Wintersport M3's FTMFW!!!!
