Here's my (stealthy) install.

Here's my (stealthy) install. I happened upon a NOS 5177 kit very cheap, so I figured why not. This stuff is pretty fun - I have hit it on the highway once and at the track for a few passes. It's so crazy how I'm pressed back against the seat when it comes on. 
I don't plan to jet higher than 100, because as I said, it's just something to play around with. The reason I did my install like I did is because I don't really like the look of wires and solenoids hanging out everywhere. I understand some of the more hard-core kits can't be hidden, but I just hate sloppy installs.
I also wanted to hide it for a stock appearance, because 99.9% of the time it's just a cam car at the track. I wouldn't want people seeing all the n20 under the hood and thinking that's what's getting me down the track.
It took a bit of planning to get things the way I wanted, but I got it figured out in the end. I started by mounting the solenoids in between the radiator and the plastic shroud, and snaked the lines upward so that they come through the filter.
Sneak peek at the lines/solenoids:
The filter (since revised)
The solenoids get n20 from a feed line on the left side of the engine bay, which is inconspicuously covered in convolute tubing. It runs through the PCM grommet into the cabin of the car.
Then the line is hidden under the door sill.
Because it's not really a permanent fixture in my car, I mount the bottle behind the passenger seat. That eliminates my need for a remote bottle opener, and when I throw a coat over it no one is the wiser.
My remote bottle opener:
I chose a regular pilled MSD window switch and an electronic WOT switch from harris speed works. I put these in the center console, along with the purge button and arming button. BTW, it purges towards the ground under the car, unnoticeably. I use the burnout box to cover the sound.
When I am not using the nitrous, I put a plastic shelf into the console so that I can put regular items in that compartment without bumping any switches.
All of my wiring runs up the right side of the engine bay, also covered in convolute tubing.
Overall this setup has been very fun. Before I had the cam, I dynoed around 445hp on a 75 shot. It's definitely a nice kick in the pants!
The end result: nothing obvious in the engine bay. At the track, some people caught onto the high mph I was turning, and asked if I had n20. I said if you can find it....
Whatcha think?

Does your plastic shelf also cover the switches you have on there? If so, do you have any pics of it? I'm curious about it...
