Where do you keep your bottle?
can those of you spraying post picks of your bottle set up????
i'm really intersted in seeing where you keep the hidden ones if they exist... but if they don't. i'd really like to see how you have yours set up...
Also i'm thinking about running a 100-150 shot but never used n2o before. Sugggested kit??? I know there are all kinds of equipment available today to make using N20 extreamly safe for both me and my car... I'd rather spend a little extra to insure both are safe..
Thanks

I too would prefer an out of sight location.
Perhaps ... on a Z ... it could be mounted in that sub-level hole (approx 10 X 18 inches) in rear center of trunk.
I am told that the bottle must face forward on an incline of say 30-45 degrees.

Not hidden, but here's a single 15lb'er in my Z06.
and current dual 15lb'ers
A buddys sideways 15lb'er. You can actually put a 10lb this way all the way down in tire well.
A few more for insight/ideas.

Great to hear a 10 lb'er will fit sideways, down below in the wheelwell space 
If I ever get pulled over by cop'er ... don't want him seeing my tank in plain sight.

Here is a link to a hot rod article showing a Vette Doctors install in the center trunk well.
hotrod.com/howto/corvette_c5_nitrous_install
I opted for visible, but I have seen a sweet hidden install using a 860 Heater/Bottle bracket in the center well.
I chose the more "Overt" Bottle install, its fun at shows watching the people walk by the engine bay, then walk past the trunk and see the bottle and then go back to the engine bay to try and find the nitrous setup
Animated GIF below allow to load for how easy the setup is to install and remove

In the rear storage compartment. It stays nice and warm there and great for bottle pressure....

C5 Corvette Owners........totally Hidden 5 Pound Bottles Can Be Placed In Inner Rear Bumper. Take Out The Two Screws Holding Your Tailight Lens. Look Inside With Flashlight. Wow. Alot Of Room.
You Can Either Pull Back The Carpeting In The Trunk Area ( Behind Licese Plate Area) And Cut Out A Small Section To Create A Access To The Area. Or Take Your License Plate Off. Take The Scews Out Holding The Panel That Your Licese Plate Is Attatched To And Cut A Small Section Out Of This , Resecure It And It Is Way Out Of Sight.
This Is The Things I Have To Do Around South Florida. Competition Is Getting Fierce......
I Can Explain My Other 2 Bottle Locations. But, Dont Want To Bore You. Hehehe

more pics
anyone else have pics of installs?
Can a bottle fit in the side storage bins in the rear? If so, how large? I have a sub box in the middle already, but would prefer a more hidden location versus just behind the seats.

I have both of mine in my 02 Z06 between the seats and the partition angled toward each other. That way I can reach them easily if I need to, plus they look really cool. I had bottle heaters on them but I took them off because the back window keeps them heated to whatever pressure I want them. I actually have to keep towels over them in the summer to keep the pressure down. I have never had any trouble (knock on something) from any of the LEO's and a few of them have mentioned them to me.
