I agree with the back hatch idea. It'll look pretty badass.

If I get NOS, thats what I'd do, cause my parents probably wouldn't approve of it, but if you have it, flaunt it.

isnt there ANY other spot to put the bottle other than the wheel well? I saw one guy had a post saying you could put the
bottle(s) underneath the rear seats and fold the rear seats down to "hide" the bottles. Im assuming he meant cut the bottom of the seats out and then fold the top part down. I still would like to THINK that you can fab the bottle(s) into the rear seats somehow...what do you guys think???

B4Ctom1~ I dont wanna start an arguement with you but I did a good amount of searching (a couple days ago) on TGO for Nitrous info and I didnt find a whole lot of info. (overall) I searched through the power adder forum and body and interior. I used the words "Nos" and "Nitrous." Like I said before I didnt come up with a lot of info. Not to tell a moderator how to do his/her job but I think if there was a "sticky" for FAQ's about nitrous there wouldnt be repeat questions. If there are a lot about of threads about nitrous (where to put the bottle ect ect) then in all seriousness I must not know how to search for info here.... Just my .02

no problem here is one I just did using "bottle AND mount" in the keyword field and I narrowed it by only looking in the "power adder" section...

you can see pictures of mine throughout my page.

down in the well is nice for shows but you loose some of the practicle use since it's now working on an angle.

i like the spare tire area except for street cars, something about the thought of getting hit bothers me. i've seen people mount it right on top of the hatch area with no problems. hell just about any way you want would work.

good luck.
