where did you mount your bottles and if you mounted them in the trunk, where did you make hole for lines?

If I was guna put a bottle on I'd run the lines to the right side into the rear compartment either down the center concel or under the car. as for the bottle to mount it to the back wall of the truck sideways would look sick.

i dont know how del sol trunks are set up but in hatchbacks we got this crappy cardboard kinda ****,...i mounted my bottle in there and guess what,..it collapsed,..so what i did was i went to lowes and bought some new wood and took that cardboard and used it as an outline,...cut the new piece to size and remounted my bottle,...as for running the nitrous line,...i would run it INSIDE the car,..mine is ran underneath the car but im gonna reroute it and run it inside,..because im moving my zex purple box to inside the car,..my whole nitrous system is gonna be hidden,...including my purge tube ,...good luck

When the guys installed my amp in the trunk, they ran the wires through a little hole in the driver side rear bin. From there it was up through the middle console. Works good for a few thick wires; should work for the nawwss. Just watch out for spots that could rub a hole through the line.

yes holes can be rubbed in a steel braided line. I had it happen to myself two summers ago. I had ran a nitrous line through my car, which entailed a passageway through the firewall. I didn't use a grommet because i did not plan on leaving it there. After a 1700 mile trip to Texas, the line had vibrated against the metal of the firewall, rubbed a hole, and emptied a full bottle of nitrous into the engine compartment. (and yes, nitrous will cause frost in a hot engine bay and on a hood during a scorching 95 degree day out in the clear open lands of Texas )

i have my bottle mounted where my spare tire was (replaced with a can of fix a flat) and the line is ran through a little hole in the trunk, the hole is there from the factory, one on each side, it is pluged with a piece of plastic (maybe drain holes?). anyways, the holes are near the firewall in the trunk. good luck
