where to hide a bottle? - Honda Forum / Acura Forum

I was wondering if anyone out there has hidden a bottle in a integra? I have a standard 10lbs. bottle and thought about in the spair tire well. I know its not deep enough but what mod can i do to the trunk to pull this off.

i'm sure that it'll cost some $$$ to hide the bottle. the nicer and cleaner the "stealth" fabrication, the more $$$.

u can probably go the spare tire well route and fabricate a mold or something to cover it.

or u can hide it in the trunk's panel by fabricating enough material to cover the bottle.

or how about getting a big box made for sub-woofers and rig it to house the bottle or something.

i'm just throwing in some ideas. it may or may not work. be creative.

hth.

i know this is weird, but i liked that rx7 in the fast and furious where it was integrated into the seat. that was cool! bout the only cool thing in the movie, though. lol

I like the sub woofer idea. simple and inexpensive

yeah, but it would be a little hard to fit a 10lb tank there...hehe.....the sub idea is pretty tight

Get a bazooka tube ... the biggest size sub you can get, and stick it in there.

My buddy has his 10# tank stashed on the right side of the hatch area. There's just enough metal to screw the bracket into, and the bottle is slightly angled out. With the hatch down and the rear deck lid you can't see it. He usually keeps a load of clothes back there scattered in disaray so it looks like he lives out of his trunk...and the bottle is well covered.

Ive seen people use Sub tubes. The best way is to fit it inside then cover it up with a really cheap speaker. You can get a 12" subwoofer from Radio shack for like 20$. Or if you have one laying around..try to get the magnet cut off. Cause i dont know if magnet will mess around with anything on the bottle.

i have my #10 bottle, bottle warmer, and bottle opener mounted in a rockford fosgate 10' bass tube. all hoses and wires wrapped in wire loom and ran under trunk lining. hardly anyone figures out i have n2o. even under the hood im "stealth"

damn...I just like listening to these ideas. If you want to be really creative....you can go and cut sh*t out of your car like putting it in seats, or in the middle of your back seat or something tight like that, but then again you would be spending a crap load of money.
Better to go with the simple sub box setup.

The best idea I've EVER seen (and most functional too lol!) was a friend who had an 89 mustang 5.0 hatch...

he never really had four people in the car at once so in the passenger footwell behind the passenger front seat he mounted the bottle (w/ valve pointing to middle so he could open it) and before mounting it to the floor he put it inside a GYM BAG!! lol

NOBODY EVER knew!!! hell I didn't know till I tried to move the fucking thing and it wouldn't budge...he'd zip it up and the cops never knew since he had the solenoids and all hidden/painted and the hoses concealed in wire loom...

nobody knew and all he'd do at a light is unzip the bag a little...turn the valve on...zip it back up and run the shit outta people!! lol

thanks for the ideas and another question will the lenght of the vacume lines on the zex kit effect the way it way it sprays?

NationsMostWanted · 02-26-2003, 10:33 AM

the big 10 lbs bottle are hard to hide. the best place is the trunk in the spare tire well. but yea even there if a cop was to look for it they will find it in a search

tegra · 02-27-2003, 05:30 AM

here's pics of my setup, some hidden area between the trunk and the back seat, unnoticable
