Hmm dunno, I have a set of 8v ones on my car now (not by choich) and
think they look fine,  If you want I might trade my 8v's for your
16v's. I think it also depends what color car ya got, I can see
how they would look dark and dreary on a white car.

Hmm, try and clean them, I took the hose off of the suqirters and
used a pin and some compressed air (my mouth ;) I know your cracking 
up at the thought of it, but it worked!).  Don't know how to make them 
cover the whole windshield, think you could grab a set of nozzels of
a wreaked M3?.

I have a MOMO short shift kit which downs it by %50 and then
I have a Hurst shifter which brings it down to like %85 less
(front and back).  I can shift so quick that it sounds like
I have and automatic :).
