Default Clever ways to hide nitrous

Hey, i was wondering if anyhone out there knew a good way to hide nitrous. The bottle is in where the spare tire should go (99 SS). But i was looking for anyone that was able to disguise the lines under the hood. Has anyone hidden or disguised them? I dont want my stepdad to see them, and its only a matter of time before he pops the hood. It may seem like a wierd question, and i doubt anyone can actually hide the lines, but still! gotta try! Thanks

Wet or dry? Dry is very easy to hide. Wet can be hidden, but it's not hard to find if you know what to look for.

You could always spray paint the solinoids flat black and wire loom the rest of the lines.

the bottle is hidden in the spare tire palce in the back, its a NX MAF gemini kit, and its a wet kit. My stepdad is no fool, he knows about cars too. Mostly older muscle cars. He doesnt really know that much about newer ones. What i was going to do was get some black tape and tape over where it says 'Nitrous Express' on the MAF, but for the lines i wasnt sure. Since the lines arent really conventional (i dont think he knows about a MAF kit) i figured i could probly BS my way out of it and say it was fdor tuning software, but thats a last resort, if he finds the nitrous hes probly gonna make me sell the car since he cosigned.

Then is it really worth it to run the nitrous?

hiding dope from your parents. priceless its not even the reefer.

all in all, if you make the payments, you should be adult enough to not hide the nitrous from your dad. whatever the case might be, there should be no reason to lie to your parents. your integrity is not worth it.
