Stealth installs
Trying to come up with a way to hide my bottle. Not sure if it will fit under the spare tire cover (anyone know?) so if it doesn’t, I thought about the idea of getting a small gym bag just big enough to hold the bottle, and zip it up inside. I would prefer the spare tire well but may have to go the other route.

Your bottle needs to be at a slight angle and it should always be mounted. there's no reason to hide it.
|
^^ Mount it,then slice the bottom of a gym bag and slide it down over it :thumbup:
|
only reason to hide it is because you can't get insurance with it....or is it illegal in texas?
|
Alot of people like to hide the bottles to give their hatch a clean appearance.
|
Yeah... I understand that, but you should never sacrifice function for fashion. Spare tires are required unless you are only on the track.
|
I drove for years without a spare tire. Less weight, and if you have +1 or 2 rims and tires...the stock 15" donut isnt really going to do anything for ya in case of a flat.
|
If you have rims then you can't drive on a flat. You have to call someone to grab a spare rim/tire or a tow truck if you're away from home. Its never a good idea to leave home without a spare tire. In some places its an inspection check.
|
Its what? 15 lbs? That should be the last thing you do for weight reduction after removing interior panels and the rear/ passenger seat. The spare tire is safety equipment which protects your rims and pocket book.
|
I would sooner rather call a tow truck or a friend than put an un-needed spare in the back of the car. :P
My car was more of a weekend/sunny weather only/show car type anyway. So it didnt see the amount of mileage that most DD's see. |
