Default Air Tank in SC430 Trunk

Hey does anyone have a picture of a 5gal. or bigger air tank in the trunk of an sc430? I've searched and can't find anything on google either. I just want to see how people are setting up their air ride systems, and how much room is left in the trunk.

Thanks!

I guess a standard 5gal tank is approx 21" in length, and 10" in diamater. If someone has a tape measure handy and wants to measure the trunk (top down), I'd appreciate it A similar sized duffle bag would be a great reference as well.

I'd do it myself but I don't have a 430 yet.

I think I'd be worried about it keeping you from lowering the top.

haha, a couple of those Heineken mini kegs would probably do the trick.

You probably need to do more than a google search to get the pics.

If you look closely, it is actually under a custom cover, not under the oem mat.
The setup in first photo is exactly the same as the third one without a custom cover.
Both cars are running the Universal Air suspension.

Only the SKP one can be buried under the oem mat because it comes with a smaller hydraulic pump.

Already checked under the toolbox.. Its about the same not much more room.. The only way to get the tank under is to do some metal work..i dont think there is much option since you can see all the trunk set ups are about the same... say goodbye to your trunk..
