Default Any place to hide a 10lbs bottle?

I'm starting to really lean towards buying a n2o kit here soon. The biggest thing stopping me is where to hide the bottle. I don't want to remove my spare tire, loose my t-top holders, or have a bottle in plain view.

Then your stuck with mounting it to a rollbar rear down leg, which you dont have; on the rear shelf puts it in plain view; b/w the rear seats using a trick mount from Nitrous Daves, then throw a nice "last of the breed" mats over it I guess. I mean, its kind of hard to hide it if you dont wanna put it in the spare tire well.

I'm leaning towards putting in in the t-top holders. If I want to take the tops off, I can just throw the tops on the shelf.

I have mine there and HATE it. I would use my T-Tops more if I could physically store them. I am going to put mine in the spare tire well or between the rear seats like Charlie said.

What's so bad about putting the tops there? They slide around a lot?

I don't take my tops off that much, I just don't want to get caught in some rain while my tops are at home.

Yes. They will slide and get scratched. Mine did even with a towel between them.

i wouldn't sacrifice the t-top storage area for anything...i'd rather toss the spare tire if i was trying to keep the bottle from being out in the open

I got the kit to go between the rear seats from Dave's Nitrous Outlet. My car isn't too handy right now as it is at my shop with the engine out of it but I will post a pic of the bottle mounted tomorrow.

I have a 5 pound bottle on the opposite side of the spare tire. I actually have a bunch of stereo equipment there with a cosmetic vinyl wrapped board to enclose the area kinda like the spare tire side. Might be able to put it there.
