No, others have their own reservoir that you can mount anywhere under the hood. Since there is not much usable place under our hood then what you can do is just tap into your windshield washer reservoir and call it a day. It is better this way since you might end up using windshield washer fluid anyways. Trunk Mount is a good alternative but it is at least $100-$200 more.

So do you literaly jst use the windshield washer container as ur actual reservoir? I'm sure it makes the install much easier then? Any negatives to this other than no windshield fluid?

I just used my stock washer tank. It's just over a gallon and only needs to be refilled every three tanks of gas. I use a mixture of washer fluid and methanol that brings the meth content of the mixture to about 35% and this can also be used on my windows too. The Snow performance kit also supplies you with a small reservoir. You could transfer your stock washer pumps to this reservoir and place it behind the bumper and then have another for just washer fluid and use say "Boost Juice" which is 50% meth and wouldn't work well on windows. I like the Snow Performance Stage 2 kit because it is a progressive controlled meth kit and is under $400. Say you boost to 9lbs max. Set the meth kit to start @ 3lbs boost and progress to 100% @ 9lbs. This will give a very smooth powerband.

nice~! thx man, will be usefull upon installing the kit, I may want to purchase that one for the simple fact of talking to some1 w good experience! Thats nice u can set if for different levels and percentages! So every 3 gas tanks is obviously an estimate then? Cuz if u never get on it during that time, it would have never sprayed correct?

True and I have been boost happy and got three tanks. Also keep in mind your stock washer tank has a low level light so you will know you are running low on meth. Oh and to make my mixture just go to Walmart buy 24 ounces of Heet (99% Methanol) and some -20 degree washer fluid. Take out 24 ounces of washer fluid out of the gallon and replace with 24 ounces of heet and there ya go 35% meth mixture that can be used on your windows too.
