If you're talking about the flat area behind the rear seats, then you had better put the drill away. There are fuel lines there, and the gas tank is pretty darn close as well.

Slip a wooden shelf underneath your carpeting and mount it to that - That's what I have done in the past.

I would definately drop the gas tank if you are looking at mounting there. Can be too carefull, the gas tank is very close. Good time to put a pump in as well if you havent already done so.

Well id like to mount it on the driveshaft hump in the back seat but im trying to save some money. I dont think im going to be spraying over a 100 shot so i dont think the pump is going to be necessary.

If anyone could post some pics of there deck lid or driveshaft hump mounts it would be appreciated!

anyone make there own????

Now would be a good time to swap the fuel pump if you haven't done it yet. Then you could drill holes for the bottle mount.

2 birds, 1 stone!

On my previous car, I used a piece of plywood that was cut exactly to the dimensions of the rear deck area and slipped it under the carpet. Since it was such a tight fit, it never moved and you couldnt tell it was there.

You can run the main feed line into the spare tire area, through the grommet there and under the car all the way up to the engine bay. Or run it inside the car under the he carpet (kinda as you would for an amp or something) up to the firewall, then into the engine bay.

You can run the line along the passenger side interior tucked behind the panels all the way to the front of the car. Passenger side firewall has a small hole you can feed through
