Default Wipers w/squirters

I'm planning on getting a CF hood for my xb and want to stay away from drilling out holes for the squirters. My Chevy Avalanche has squirters built into each wiper. This would let me keep the squirters and the clean look of the hood. I've noticed that the squirters in the wipers keep the fluid on the windshield better too. My xb gets coated down the sides whenever I use the stock squirters.

Anyone know of replacements that would fit on the xb wiper mounts? The Avalanche wipers are a bit too long I think. Anyone done this and have some advice?

Also I've seen a few xb's (can't find the pics) with a cowl that hides the wipers when they are off. Anyone know where to get something like that? Here is an example...

I've been thinking that same thing. Here's my plan:

Figure out how much hose I will need to re-route the existing squirter hoses to the wiper arms. Go to Lowe's and buy some tubing in the Drip System area. If I can't get the right type of spray nozzle there for the ends, I will buy some cheapy LED squirters at Wally-Mart and cut the nozzles out. Lay out the tubing and zip-tie and double sided tape it as needed. Since I don't use them much anyway, I don't need it to be the world's most perfect spray. I think that'll be easier than trying to find arms to work.

The only cowl cover I've seen is the Fabulous Hood Wing. Check in Sponsored Sales, I think bBist.com was offering them.
