What other features are we missing out on in North America?

We are lucky enough to have it here in Australia, but only on the GSR.

It is good for preventing heat soak if you are pushing the car hard for extended periods of time (circuit racing).

You wont make power with it, just prevent losing power when the car starts to get really hot.

It does connect directly into the windscreen washer fluid so the GSR has quiet a large container from factory.

You wrong. Maybe doesn't made any difference for your driving and dd.
The ic spary is prooven day by day in racing. It prevents heat soak, so you don't need a larger heavier ic front of the car .

I heard some say that we only got the IC spay so it would be homologated on the car for use by the Pros in motorsport.

So we got a real useless setup just to say "the car has an IC spray".... then the race teams can rip off the junk OEM piece, fit a nice race quality IC spray, and pass tech inspection.

hm... the oem is the best for rally cars.... they might move and separate or use another bigger the tank for the fluid , but thats all about it.

windshield washer fluid. I'd rock it on my X, it would put something in the 2 blank switch spots and be useful simultaneously.

anyone know where to get one?(not just the button, the whole shabang)

it sprays water into the intercooler. there is a resevior in the engine bay that holds water for spraying. I use ice water in mine when I use it.
