nope it's an ek, the wing is just bolted on with 4 bolts, i read somewhere on here of someone taking the 2 outter nuts off and tilting the wing by putting the nuts back on using them as spacers. i'll try to find a pic....

edit: here is the best i could do...

I couldn't care if it was even close to being jdm, i love the looks of a true jdm car but mine will never be, so why even try as long as like it in the end and it doesn't look retarded.

And as you can see from the pics he doesn't have a wiper, so has anyone else done this and angled the squirter down after raising the wing so it hits the window instead of 2-3 feet behind the car.

I'm not familiar with that particular window squirter, but I know that with some of them can be adjusted by sticking a needle into the hole and moving it so it points the fluid where you want it to go. You'll be able to tell if this is the case, because it will be a small metallic disc that is fairly easy to move around once you stick a needle in one of the holes.

thanks but no adjustable nozzle on this one it's in a solid piece of black plastic, today if it doesn't rain i'm going to try to make wedge of some sort to place under the squirter
