Default Cup-kit Suspension Tank Mounting Location?

Ok so I just bagged my Z.
I'm looking for places for my tank.
Does anyone have any good photos of where you put yours?
Thanks

Also any of your No2 tanks
thanks

JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS
THIS IS A CUP KIT !!!
NOT AN AIRBAG KIT.

full cup kit is sick made and daymn expensive.

OP, if you arent using your factory sub location, pull the rear speaker covers, and then pull the plastic off the trunk/glovebox opening. Theres a TON of room inside the area behind your drivers seat, right above your gas tank. Also, you can mount it to the trunk floo where your spare would be and it will only stick up a few inchesthen.. needs the trunk floor plastic and carpet cut of course.
IF youre rocking cup kits, im sure you dont half @ss things, so do a nice install or a stealth install IMHO..


btw... what cups are you using?

Agreed! I mounted an amp rack in there with two large amps and a cap. There's quite a bit of space, but it is one that is tough to work in. I built the rack and mounted the amps out of the car and then slid the setup in.

If you need even more space, you could remove the glove compartment innards from the passenger side area as well.

I was hoping to hide it as much as possible.

The tank is a little too big for the glove
