where to hide a nitrous bottle?

i've pretty much decided i'm going with n20 but i went very clean sleek install.. i'm going to go with a 5 or 10lb bottle as i will "ONLY!" use this for track use since FBO + CMGS Meth is more then enough to beat anything on the road but where to hide it?

Plan 1 "Trunk" place the bottle as far back to the seats as possible and build a custom "wall" with the same oem carpet to hide it then to refill it or whatever drop the seats and get it from the inside of the car

what do you think??

seems like a good idea, that space should be large enough to hold a bottle. where will you be routing all the lines though?

Sneaky Pete NOS. You can fit the bottle underneath the passenger seat if you wanted but it will be only good for maybe one run

I think that sounds like a pretty good idea.

I'd go with a big bottle, the little one seems more of a hassle.

A 5lbs bottle should fit in your back bumber. But It would be hard to get it out.

It'll also fit in the glove box.

A N20 bottle can easily be hidden in a sportbag in the trunk. You need good access to it to open and close the bottle valve unless it is remote controlled.

I remember watching a vid on youtube where two terminators (Cobras) were racing eachother. One had nitrous, and when the guy popped the trunk all you could see was a Nike sports bag. The bottle was hidden inside.

Ummm, forgive my ignorance, but why would you want to hide the N20 bottle?

I'd put a roof rack and a beer keg sized N20 barrel... That way NOONE will mess with me..
