hmm, my bar didn't come with the spacers. Might be because i said it was going on a gs-t. They probably just throw in the spacers when ordering the bar for an NT. I dont use the windshield washers either. In fact in taking the car to the body shop soon to have both washer nozzles on the hood and the one on rear hatch filled in. I might pull the rear wiper off and have them fill that hole in also. Not quite sure yet.
