In todays world of driving im sure almost everyone has been tailgated by some retard at least once in your driving career, so I decided to make it so I can shoot water out the back of my car, and trust me this is endless hours of fun! :p

First thing you need is a water pump and the windshield nozzle (or rear nozzle if you only want one line of water) you can pick these up at almost any junk yard for next to nothing, also I recommend getting the tank the pump sat beside, I still have to get one since my 2l Coke bottle sometimes seems to "misfire" i guess the term would be.
Next you should stop by Home Depot and pick up some tubing it's like 5$ for almost 20ft witch is more than enough, make sure it fits snug to the pump and the nozzle.
Now I assume most of you have some basic wiring knowledge. You need to run a wire from your trunk (were the pump will sit) to your dash. Next find a wire to splice into (I used my neon lights wire as long as it's 12v your fine, you can also pick up a fuse splitter for like 15$ there really useful)

Now that you ran a wire from your trunk and spliced it into a power source you need to cut this wire and install a switch in it so you can power it on and off.

**If you splice into a wire it's a good idea to install an inline fuse in the wire going to the pump it should only need a 1-2 amp fuse.
Next ground the wire to somewhere in your trunk. The screws for the taillights work well.

Hook up positive to positive on the pump and do the same for the negative.

Look for the rubber gommet in your trunk leading to outside, it should be a bit lower than your taillights and you will need to peel back some of the overlay. Pull the gommet out and run the hose through it towards the license plate so it dangles in front of your license plate.
Unscrew one of the screws from the light above the license plate and put the end of the nozzle up there (you may need to break off the clips that were on the nozzle). Now this part is kinda tricky take the tube in one hand and holding the nozzle in the other while the nozzle is in the screw hole push the nozzle tip into the hose and make sure its in there tight so it doesn't move around to much.

Now hook up all the tanks and hoses in your trunk and your good to go!!
