nitrous bottle locations?

im getting ready to put my nitrous kit in and i was going to see if you guys could post pics of where you mounted your nitrous bottle? i dont really want mine to be hidden id rather it be seen. im having it painted body color and having a guy do some pinstriping on it so id like to have to in eyesight but just getting some suggestions.

I am thinking about some juice, I thought about putting it there in the spare tire area, but did you ever think about what would happen if you were to get hit in that quarter panel?

That is why there are safety blow down tubes installed. It's the blue tube that comes off the bottle. Plus it would have to get hit pretty hard to even have anything happen. I mean anything can happen but people have been installing them there for 20+ years and i have never heard of anything happen.

that is exactly what i was planning on doing but i wasnt sure how to do it. lmk when you get it done id like to see some pics. idk how soon i can work on this nitrous i have to put a new rear end in and a t5 swap... but i want to at least get this bottle mounted.

5678TA thanks for the link but i dont want a hidden setup.

ive still got a couple things to get but ive got almost everything i need to start all i need now is a nitrous pressure gauge and fill and paint my bottle.

It wont be for a LOOONNNGGG time. Anyways, you know how the rear seats have a hump inbetween them? Well, you make a U bracket and bolt the nitrous bottle to it. Pretty simple.

It's been awhile since I installed it....but I didn't have to bend the brackets at all. They are just the NOS bottle brackets....unless the pressure from bolting them down formed them.....
