Default Disadvantage of the hump

I really want to mount my bottle on the hump so i can reach back open it and check the pressure. Is the only disadvantage to this is it is easily seen?

if you don't have rear seats, i put mine where the pass. rear seat was. perfect place for it, fits good back there and you can still put the seat back really far. easier to reach than the hump, and more concealed. i throw a jacket over it and forget it's even there.

Some times I whap my elbow on the bottle valve, but thats the only bad thing I can think of.

2nd on that your elbow will hit the valve at some point. another thing is that the line tends to scratch the plastic for the center console.

it is kind of a pain in the *** to mount it securely without an aftermarket part.

imo, it was the best spot for it for me back when i had my v6 vert. i wouldn't use the spot again after how close cops were to finding it when i totaled it.

What could they do if they found it. From what I've been told it isn't illegal to have in the car.

It's hard to fit 2 28" tires in your car if the bottle is on the hump.

I drape a jacket over mine and it hides it well.
