Default Hidden N02 Install?

I'm just curious if anyone here has done a hidden Nitrous install. If you have could you show some pictures. Where did you put your bottle, in one of the rear compartments?
Thanks,
Christian

Mounted N20 bottle in rear center section, cover fits over bottle perfect. Make sure and turn bottle about 35 degree angle to take advantange siphon tube during acceleration :D
All switchs are mounted in ash tray.
Solenoids mounted front frame section. Uses stock air cleaner bolt holes.

You can do it with a dry kit, but not with a wet kit (or dam near impossible). :cheers:

When I installed my kit I went for the hidden look :eek: I mounted my switches in the ash tray the bottle in the back not hidden so I can reach it from the drivers seat.I mounted the solenoids under my fuel rail covers,From under the hood you would never know i was spraying. I can e-mail you some pictures because I do not know how to post them here :D :cheers:

Jetskifast,
You've got a nice install. That being said, only part of it is hidden, cause if you can see it when you pop the hood, it's not hidden. The guys around here (South Carolina) are very sneaky. Lots of cars have N20, but it's really hard to find the solenoids, feed lines, and relays under the hood. I see you've wrapped your feed line with friction tape, which is a start, but still not hidden. But I like what you've done with the rest of it.

Get creative. That's all I can say about hiding a nitrous kit. There are many places you can hide the solenoid etc... Oh yeah, and get a dry kit... so much easier to hide. When done right it will be invisible unless the back of the car is open and the cover is off the center compartment. :D

My mistake I thought poster was looking for bottle locations to be hidden, cover goes over bottle.
Solenoids can be mounted in hidden locations and mount jet nozzle from underneath air bridge.

No tape used in my install. Maybe you think velcro strap for bottle heater is tape? Or maybe the black plastic cover on the stainless lines are tape?

The 1st picture is the solenoid underneath the Brake master cylinder
The 2nd picture is the bottle mounted in the back, with the bracket mounted to the original cd changer bolts.
The 3rd picture is the hidden nozzle going into the MTI ram air box.
