nitrous bottle color

i cant decide which color to paint my nitrous bottle. the NOS blue is just not sitting well with me in my red car. im keeping it in the trunk next to my subwoofer. do you think i should paint it with that kameleon paint that 86fyrbird used in his engine compartment, red to match my car, or other. if you choose other, plz tell me what you think

That can be a good thing... it keeps you streetable. You two guys are facking idiots. HAVE YOU SEEN HIS CAR? HAVE YOU READ HIS MODS? give me a break... his rims alone are better than your entire car!

SERIOUS ANSWER TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION: Polish polish polish... nothing looks better than a polished aluminum nos bottle... especially when you have rims like that... red and silver all around.

NOS is real power. It'll be down on the dyno like any other type of power adder. Just because it has to be refilled means all of ****. He asked what color, not weather people thought nitrous was a valid use in going down the 1/4.

BTW, I'm the lone one who picked the kameleon color. Just cause I like that color, but polished would look better.

Wanna have a pissing contest, take it through e-mail, I don't like cleaning up 5 minutes worth of worthless posts.
As for the color, polished looks best but how many black bottles have you seen? When/if I ever go with N2o I think a bottle painted to match the interior (carpet) would look really clean. I agree, the polished looks awesome and the blue is ugly. I've never seen a cool looking blue bottle install. Even when it was new I always liked the nitrous works bottles and then edebrock followed, I think they looks better. A bottle is a bottle, unless it's carbon fiber paint it a different color .

Red would make it look too much like a bloated fire extinguisher. I like the polished idea. But if I had a nitrous system, the bottle would be hidden anyway, so I don't really know. I think black would look good.

Firearm is just jealous Tom. Anything that makes that little line on the dyno graph go up higher then before or anything that puts u behind my tailights then to me, that isn't to fake is it? There is no such thing as fake-losing, your either in the lead or lagging behind, how u get in the lead is whats important.

Go with the red of polished look Tom. Either one would look cool. And don't worry about what the guy is saying about N20. N20 is the same as adding a blower or turbos. There all called power adders and if someone thinks thats bull then they need to wake up cause thats part of the race.
