Default Hide bottle or not?

I can't decide if i should hide my bottle or not. I got 2 12'' speakers in my trunk area so that is used up right now. I can either stealth my bottle in the spare tire area and move my amp from there.


I can put it on the rear dec above fuel tank, and i can put it between the rear seats. I can't decide one way or another. Anyone have any advice?

It will be a street/show/strip car.

I am a bit worried about cops seeing my bottle and possibly theft. Want to keep my interior clean but at the same time i think a bottle would be an awesome show piece.

I would... but i like my cars looking stock as possible. You know from the sound and ride height that its not, but thats about it. Oh and my tach...

But i DD it sometimes. If its just a show car id say dont hide it... like you said it makes a cool show piece when they are painted to match, etc.

I have mine between the seats and though I like it there because of how easy it is to see the gauge and turn it on, I still am always worried about getting pulled over with it in there and also the theft thing. I will more mine as soon as I can get a gauge and an opener. I know I wouldn't really need an opener but would want one if it is in the spare tire area!

I put mine in the spare tire area because i didn't want to get pulled over and have a cop see a big nitrous bottle sitting there.

My interior looks stock

i just said to heck with it. I was originally going to put mine in the wheel well, but i decided who cares. You can't hide a turbo or supercharger, and they are power adders, so my theory is whats the difference. I don't really care who see's mine but to one it might be different.

i vote hide it, bc we already have limited space, when i had it in between my two back seats, i would always get something hung on it, then when i moved it to the back lid, the reflection and/or the bottle itself obstructed my view and kept me from stashing stuff in the back lid area.

trust me, if its a DD, youll get tired of it being in the cabin.

and oh yeah, the cops, what do you think theyll do when you get pulled over and they see a n20 bottle? mine sure as hell didnt get me out of any tickets, thats for sure. the cops are what motivated me to remove my triple gauges from the pillar. thats the first thing they see when you roll down the window. since i took my car back to stock appearance and muffler, i have had no problems.

To keep the bottle out of view so the cops can't see it when they pull you over. Why care about hiding it in the engine bay unless you plan on lying to people while street racing and i hate when people lie about their mods

I have mine in the spare tire well. I like it out of sight, I think the interior looks much nicer that way.

Yea i just omit information. I dont like it when ricers need to look under your hood, now i let them and they see nothing. Because its fair for them to run 20+ lbs of boost and us be all motor.

Mine is in the trunk. Since it is a D/D I wanted to keep my spare.

Hell no. i like the fact that Mustang owners that look in my back glass often have "Jaw Drop Syndrome", and many seem to also have "Turrets Syndrome" cause they always blurt out, ****, fu*k, hell, damn...



My sister once asked me, "God why do you have those Scuba tanks in your car?", gotta love the bleached blondes, lol.

I couldn't vote because Im torn. A part of me says hide it just in case you don't want a certain opponet to know you're sprayin and because it is out of the way if you drive the car often. Then the other side says that THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME
