^ Haha, yeah ... beer for sure. And wipers.

So btw, do you guys paint the washer container black or buy a replacement somewhere? I keep seeing engine bays with black containers and that'd be cool.

They stopped making them black so you can actually see the fluid level. I'd rather have a clearish one...

i'm sure there's someone near you with an '04 that would be more than happy to swap.

Yeah, maybe the clear one is a good idea so I can see the level. Ok, sticking with it.

I've always prefered the idea of a clear container; so I can see what level I'm at. My buddy's 04 has the black container and I continously pick on him and tell him that they "upgraded" the container in '05.

Now I'm thinking about getting these caps in BLACK. I sort of like the mazdaspeed one but I might try to sell it and get something black.

Poor photoshop attempt.

washer cap:


brake fluid cap:


Looking for a black oil filler cap, too. Found a nice one at Atkins Rotary but when I tried to order it, got a message saying "no shipping to my region" ??

I wish I could get all caps with a different shape. I really like the rotary for the washer, the notched circle for the brake fluid and it'd be cool if there was a different shape for oil filler cap.
