I was checking out how this alky kit was hidden underhood, I want to purchase the SMC kit, but do you think it's possible to hide most of the elements from non-turbo buick people?

I could mount that control box inside the armrest, if I wanted it hidden well. What do you guys think?
 
The difficult part would be hiding the ALKY tank. You would need a longer line that comes with the kit if you planned on putting the tank anywhere else besides the fan assembly. I always get wierd looks when people see under my hood :D , it would be cool to keep it all hidden. Let us know if you get it figured out.
 
you could hide it behind the head lights I bet but it would be a hassle to fill. Even if you could get the bottle hidden, where would you put a nozzle? With my front mount I could hide it easier but with stock location IC ...well just something to ponder.
 
Use the windshield washer bottle, you'll have to figure a way to seal it.
 
You need decent access to the bottle to fill it. Pump and level switch is inside there so build a kit yourself to use other bottles or locations otherwise you will have to undo the $300 kit to modify it a lot.

Finally access to the prime switch and low alky. light and pump on lights is important to me. I keep them visible at all times.

Therefore the controller sits on top of the radio pod. and yeah doesn't look all that great. ;)

I think the box should be hideable with a remote pump on switch and all the lights for power on, pump on, and low alky. located on a much smaller remote display.

Yeah you could make one yourself and modify the kit too. :)

I made my own bracket and mounted the bottle higher to clear the V4 and not drill the fan shroud. Easier acess for fill.

I did paint the bottle flat black though. :D

Just my .02.
