If you have a coupe, and don't have the CD changer in the center compartment, The bottle fits perfectly there. Put a bottle opener on it and be completely stealthy

do you have a bottle opener or no?
if you want to be able to reach it has to be considered also.

that looks good, i dont have an openener but getting one is not out of the question. i would like to be able to store the hatch in the back and maybe put a sub in that location. has anyone ever put it parallel to the axle and right behind the pass seat
? that way i can see the gauge and open the bottle very easily. what material is that i dont feel all the great about drilling holes or running self tappers in my new to me vette

Its very easy to reach the bottles while driving and the targa top still fits nicely

The floor is a composite material so i mounted the bottles to a long plate of aluminum under the carpet and through bolted
it in 8 places with big fender washers .

You can pull up the carpet and Gorilla Glue a piece of wood to the floor and then screw your bracket into the wood. This way no holes are in your floor and you dont have to worry about puncturing anything
