Everyone who ever takes the top and doors off knows the air moves from the back to the front and out the front sides imagine if you had a couple mist nozzles mounted to the rear bar and it dropped that temp 15 degrees

Look up garden irrigation systems. I have used misters with 20 psi that give a great mist. They suposidly use 3/4 gallon per hour.
Dripworks is one company. Good luck.

Correct. Very fine mist. Their site has pics and a couple different options. There are several companies with very similar products.
Just type mist into their search or you may only see the drip versions.

I have a safari top that I use I know that helps but in 110° heat all air feels like a blow dryer blowing on you shade or not

Aeromist makes a small 150 psi pump that works on 110v, it's a good size too and only pulls 1 amp:

Which is where misters won't really help, they'll just get you wetter. Evaporation is the key and that's what causes the drop in temps. Out here in Phoenix, misting systems do wonders until monsoon season when our humidity goes up. They still help a bit because it's SO damn hot, but you'll get wet more than cool.
