What I've done to add to the windshield is to mask off about a 1 inch edge along the inside of the windshield and door windows. Then spray flat black paint in order to give a clean sharp edge. Looks great!

What is the best hose to use for that? Also, can the hoses be inverted on the cooler? In other words, is there an in and out ports or I can connect the hose from the pump in any end of the cooler and connect the hose from the tank in the other port?

Later after a question like yours no one seemed able to find the spring, so I did a little experimenting and found that if you wound a bit of the .032 or .041 SS safety wire around a mandrel you can essentially build a spring that you can put into the tube. I just tried it again and would suggest that you try different size rods to see what just fits in the tube. You could also use the shank of a drill bit to get finer size graduations - a lathe sure helps. Once wound, stretch the wire coils out a bit to give more length and run it into the tube to the vulnerable bend area. Once under tension from the bend, it won't move.
