Default Starting nitrous install today & need help ASAP

I have 97 C5 coupe and im starting the nitrous install today. I want to run my nitrous feed line underneath the car not inside the car. I have read alot of threads where people run the line inside and id just feel safer having it under the car. Is there anyone with pics of where they ran the nitrous feed line from the rear to the engine compartment? I'm pretty new to the corvette world and im even more of a noob when it comes to the nitrous. I have read that people just say they attached it or ran it next to the fuel line but i dont know where the fuel line is routed either so that doesnt help me at the moment. If someone could show or explain in some detail where i would run the nitrous line and what i would have to remove from the car to do it i would appreciate it. Also on side note, not as important but im trying to hide the bottle in the rear compartment in my car, im close to having the bottle mounted low enough but i would need to get about an inch lower so any comments on how you have hidden your bottle in the rear would help me out as well. Thanks for the help.

I feel the no2 line is probably safer inside the car so it doesnt get tore by debris or weather as for hiding the bottle maybe get a smaller bottle or different brackets?

I agree, inside the vehicle is safer IMO, not to mention much easier to do. But, the fuel lines can be accessed by removing the exhaust and the torque tube cover. Another alternative is to run the hose down the door sill tube. You can see the spot/area I am talking about in my fuel system write up in my sig, as I ran my fuel line through there. The reason for external running of fuel line is safety as it's flammable, whereas the n2o is not. Anyway, here's a thread of c5 and z06 installs, many good ideas here. Please add yours when finished, and I'll be adding these pictures to my web site sometime soon. In my Fquick site is a '97 that I owned and it also was sprayed.
