    If you don't mind me asking, where did you move the washer fluid bottle to.? I also eliminated mine with my bumper, wouldn't mind having it back

    I haven't done it yet but there is space for about a 2-3 liter container near the passenger-side firewall. Hopefully, that will be enough volume as it needs to supply both the front and rear washers.

    Here is what another guy did. Got a junk yard bottle, made a bracket, and secured it to the firewall.

    I think a mount where you can just attach a whole bottle of washer solvent so you dont have to refil so often.
    You could refil if you wanted or just replace the bottle. Think of it like an IV drip.
