Bottle in back is a good move...but teflon tape...dont monkey rig it. Do it right so it doesnt fail on you and something bad happen. I like the wheels but with your current color scheme, i dont think it matches very well. You need to get rid of all the plain silver accents and just have your car one solid color and your car would look very good. Did you get those wheels through OE Wheels???

I don't like the bottle on the back floorboard but let me say this, if you decide to keep it in the cabin, have it properly mounted and use a blow down tube. Guys please don't think b/c the bottle is located in the trunk that you are "safer". Trust me if there is no blow off valve installed and the pressure gets high enough to blow the bottle, it's probably going to take out the entire car and everything close by it. Don't kid yourself by thinking the seat is going to soften the blow.

Which to me means if your coing to run nitrous, you should be installing a blow down tube no matter where it's mounted. And like teej said, please, not teflon tape.

you are correct, a blowdown tube should be run regardless (assuming the valve is set to release the gas), although some tracks only require it if the bottle is mounted in the cabin. I don't know how harmful the gas is, but probably not as bad as airbag gasses considering you breath N2O when you go to the dentist except it contains 100PPM sulfur dioxide. Use teflon paste when possible.
