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.

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.
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.
