that, is a stupid question. sorry, if you are going to use nitrous, don't lie about it. contrary to your name, the real world is not tfnf. that said, there is basically no where to hide a normal bottle in an FD, if you have an FD. how about really dark hatch tint, then you can hussle people livin' tha street life all you want.

Best place would be to use Roll cage as the Tank. Have it built so it is air tight and just fill it with N20, Hide the regulator somewhere like in a Bin.

try cutting out the bottom of one of the bins in the rear, like what you would do for a relocated battery. that would be hidden well.

Damn I wondered who had the name I wanted when I registered!

In all seriousness though. Why not in one of the bins or possibly in the spare tire well.

Put the NOS bottle right next to the exhaust manifold.

Get smaller bottles (2-4) and hide them where the
storage capartments on the side walls (touring editions).

Build a 5 sided box (no bottom) to go around the tank from very thin wood like 1/4" for weight. Disguise it as a sub enclosure by using carpet and a speaker grill. You can't get busted for bass if you don't hear any and they can't see your tank. Make the nitrous line come out of the speaker wire plug with loom around it. A thin box would be nearly weightless. If worse comes to worse you can always just grab the box and pull it out. Simple.

Get a small bottle and put it behind the reartail light access covers. Thats where I think I'll put a propane bottle if I ever get up the courage to hook it up.

Neither of these will work. The bottle should run parallel to the car, the the valve pointing towards the front of the carand angled up 15 degrees. The bottle will only fit if placed facing perpendicular to the car if you place it in the bins or spare tire well (speaking of which... do you have any idea how big a 10lb bottle is? no way it will fit in the sprae tire well.)

Placing the bottle perpendicular to the car results in the possibility that you can starve your nitrous feed while cornering hard (nitrous is stored as a liquid, like propane, and picked up via a siphon tube), bog from injecting fuel only, puddle your intake manifold with fuel, and then pop a huge nitrous backfire, blowing apart your intake manifolds, inectors, intercooler, etc.

Not following simple instructions like these is what gives nitrous its bad name and subjects it to the ridicule as listed above.

This is the best idea here.

I don't understand. Why do you have to hide it?

why not remove the rear seats and build a fibreglass mockup w/ a fabric covering. you could then shape it to hide a bottle (or several small ones) and tint the windows to make sure they can't see the flaws in the seats

Was my first idea. Next to the manifold was another good one.

Why not mod the seat like in your namesake and put them there?

Buy a large toolbox, bolt it down in the back, put it in there.

I don't know how you're going to deal with all the blurriness once you hit the button tho.......
