hehe, my 2 subs take up the t-top area anyway.. my bottle will sit on that little shelf.. When i take my t-tops off, i usually leave them at home.. depending on where im going. Or i just lay then in the back seat with a jacket covering them or somethin... Sucks having subs and N20.. but yet its so great.

Thats why you put it in the spare tire well, that way you can still put the T-tops in their holders... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

My back hatch area is filled with subs as well.
When I take the T-Tops off, I fold down the back seat and place the Tops on top of the folded down back seat.
As BIGBOS said, put the N20 bottle where the spare tire goes.

I thought this topic was going to be about hard launches with a T-Top car. My answer was going to be get subframes. But oh well <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Get a set of 3rd Gen T-Top cases and strap them down to the back seat using the seatbelts <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Put me down for the back seat also. A 12# carbon fiber nitrous bottle is mounted right behind the back seat so there isn't enough room to put the Ts where they belong and close the hatch.

If you go into the site and scroll down to the Project Vehicles section you can click on a link that has a bunch of pictures of the car. One shows the bottle mounted. 10# bottles should fit fine but the 12# is a little longer.
