I'm thinking installing a NOS system. I do not want the bottle to be out in the open. Has anyone mounted their bottle out of view?

I believe some of the members have mounted the bottle in spare tire carrier area under the car. I myself just put mine in the back in plain site and pull the cargo cover over it.

In the cargo area, I have seen them in the spare tire carrier however I wouldn't suggest that. It would be a p.i.t.a. to change and I wouldn't want to get rear ended with a bottle back there plus you lose your spare.

Well im using a 15lb bottle and put it in the hatch area. I like to watch people walking by the car and just start at it, then change positions to get a better look. I get asked "it that really hooked up?", "can it get any bigger?", and a few others.
I only drilled 2 holes in the drivers side compartment door cover, and took a razor and sliced in 2 small x's where the bolts would go, over the holes in the door.
You can always just pull over the security shade over it, and the top fits over it too.
If I were to do it again I would never get anything besides a 15 lb bottle, Ive had 10 pounders on my other cars and they never lasted long enough.

Another idea I saw someone do on here was stick the bottle in a gym bag, lol.
