All the valvles are tucked away under the bumper and underneath the car. Not attached to the bumper though. When installing em i took off my rear bumper and had it assembled and attached it to the body. And then hid it with the bumper

And yea im cleaning up alot of my wires. Moving alot of the stock wires too. Theyre all in random spots. haha

Holy crap the seats were freakin heavy as stuff man. I would say each seat weighs 85-100lbs. Alot heavier than i thought it would. To take everything off it took about 2-3hours first time you do it. Second time you do it, its like clockwork. Maybe like an hour and half at most You pretty much keep a mental note in your head where all the necessary bolt and what not are at.

youre probably gonna have a bucket of bolts left over after reassembly. Thats what I always had left when I took apart my accord back in the days.

Bolts and screws would be expensive for every little thing in the car.

Btw, You screwed you tank onto the car, what about the carpet?

That's not a bad idea where you put the valves, but I would think its a PITA when something needs to be fixed or adjusted. I'll post pictures of my setup soon after I redo it

After dynamatting everything ill just screw the tank into the car. The compressors are a different story.
