The idea of the purge on vents is so resemble what them funny cars do when they accelerate... I know it's a dumb comparision but you get the picture. It's also kinda stealthy and I will be able to physically see it if I am already rolling.

Quick question, what should I paint my nitrous bottle??? I can get any custom design..

I was thinking either paint it like a bottle of coca cola, alcohol or have it powdercoated in black and written in red

"Not Nitrous, I swear"

Something like that.

You do realize this is a sleeper. The less apparent the better. The solenoids are all facing backwards to appear stock look. The bottle is hidden in the back pretty well and if you pop the hood you can't see the nitrous lines. Inside the car the flush will be covered by the cig lighter tray.

I'm trying to maintain a stock look. If I got **** coming out my emblems lol.
