I'm going to mount mine on the ledge that is directly behind the back seats when folded down. I'm doing that so I reach in the back and turn it on if I want to. Someone posted a pic of this a while back.

Some folks like to put the bottle in the spare tire well. Sleeper! :) Be creative and put it where it works for you. Remember, it is recommended to have it at a 15 degree angle. Good luck with the install!

I know I've seen pictures of it mounted there. He said that he still had an inch of clearance. Well, I hope it'll fit... guess I'll find out tomorrow afternoon when da Fed-Ex man comes!

and if its mounted there, you run the wires along the passenger side and but where do you drill the hole for the nitrous line?

Run the Nitrous line inside the car, along the passenger side. Hide it by running it under the carpet and/or under the plastic door strip. There is a bundle of wires that go through the firewall on the passenger side. Pull the carpet back and look up there, you'll see it. Use a coat hanger or maybe something larger to "poke" through the rubber and pull the Nitrous line through. Be careful not to damage any of those wires with the coat hanger!

It is safer to have the lines running under the car. (just in case)
If you decide to run them under you can still use the body plug in the bottom of the spare tire well (you may need a longer line than what was supplied), drill a hole in the center of the plug and run the line through (this prevents the line from rubbing on bare metal and possibly wearing through.)

okay guys... yes.. my seat folds up nicely and locks into place with the bottle there. i haven't had any probs with people sitting back there, and like someone said already, it's nice to reach back and open the valve in a parking lot, or even at a red light. i drilled a hole under the plastic panel and down through the bottom of the car, then zip tied the braided hose to my fuel lines and ran it all the way up to the engine. there was plenty of line left over when i was done running it. i would say that although this is probably not the safest place to have the bottle mounted in case of an accident, it is definately the most space saving spot. you can fit a nice speaker box back there, because your trunk room is virtually untouched. gets you lots of looks too, when you have your seat folded down. i've actually been pulled over by a cop with the seat down, and he had to call for back-up. "i have a street racer here that has a big ole' tank of nitrous oxide in his back seat." lol. the funny part is that when "back up" arrived, they had to call the station to see what kind of ticket they could give me, because they've never dealt with nitrous before. the result was NO tickets at all, because i closed the valve and purged while the cop was in his car. the was no pressure reading on my guage, therefore the system was not active. haha. stupid cops.
