That's cool, but what about the front of the cockpit? You might have to leave the NOS bottle out of the pic to get it to show.

More like picts of your bottle which doesnt have a blow down tube by the way. TYhe way you mounted it looks unstable at best. Spend more than 20 mins to make a more quality bracket.

Rear seats arent my choice but the diamond is a nice touch.

I agree ^^^^^. I have always firmly believed that if you are going to modify a car you should always try and keep it natural or as harmonious as you can with the existing design. The best compliment that I feel I can get is the "what did you do to it" comment.

Yeah most everything done to our cars is an aftermarket or custom part but it doesn’t have to look like it. Find a why to integrate the bottle so it looks as if it may have came stock with it.

Possibly a new rear seat design so the bottle is in-between and lower or something, Paint the bottle to match your body color, just some ideas because right now it just looks like you are trying to call attention to it...and honestly whoop-d-fucking-do you’ve got a bottle. It sucks when you show off all that go-fast (or potentially go-fast) and get you ass handed to you. In the end you just look like a clown.

Im not trying to be an ass or anything Im just think the placement seems rushed or after thought.

Keep it simple, keep it clean...

I'm going to go against the mold here.. The bottle mount looks GREAT! It doesn’t take a whole lot to make a bottle stable and I think that mount looks pretty good, it's definitely original. It does kind of take away from the other passenger seats but it does it's business. Good idea to invest in a good alarm being that it’s ‘in your face’. Have any times with the setup? How's it feel?

OK:

1.)The bracket is made out of very thick aluminum which I got bentat a machine shop which took me weighing over 200 lbs to put it on the ground and bounce on it to give it the final curve to the back seat.

2.) I built this bracket so i didnt have to climb into the trunk to tunr the bottle on/off. This car is also designed to be a show car which realy accents the back seat sine I already have a custom fiberglass 3 12" enclosure for the trunk.

3.) I reupholstered both back seats and the headliner with black and orange tweed. which the bracket for the NOS bottle you see in the picture is wrapped in soft fom, then wrapped in tweed to make it almost an "armrest". SInce I ordered the Sparco 3 point harnesses with the torino 2 seats in all black,

4.) I also hae a dual purge kit which i got installed yesterday which I will post pics tonight to show.

5.) This bracket is also held in with 9 bolts, 5 at the bottom and 4 at the top under the top of the back seat. This bracket is very sturdy and solid. I LOVE no having to hop in and out the car when I want to use my dope bottle.

I just got tht notrous installed in my car but I do have th take pics of the front seat. I have carbon door panels and both gauge pilars are wrapped. I also have also fiberglassed the whole bottom part of my dash and As soon as they come back from gettign sprayed, Ill post pics of them also.

P.S. Thanks for the honest reviews, its not everyones style, but Its exactly the way I wanted it. This is not a daily driving car, And I will be more than happy to help anyone who is doing custom work to their interior. Thanks guys!

if you want it to be a show car have you considered just eliminating the back seat all together. The bottle bracket gives it the just "stuck it in there" look honestly. Buy a remote bottle opener and put it somewhere else.

so you re-upholstered the seats yourself? I think if you wanted to put it in the back seat, it'd be kinda cool if you mounted it right between the seats but on the metal above the gas tank, then cut the foam of the seat bottom and reupholstered it so as someone else said, it looks like it came with the car. you could also upholser over the bottle to hide a bottle warmer, and make it look like there is just a valve sticking out of the center of the seat. That'd be pretty cool.
