Searched high and low for a good looking mount and finally settled on these. Used a "Joes Racing Products" Coil Clamp Mount which is made of anodized aluminum and available in gray, red, and blue.

I know, many believe there is too much heat under the hood, but with my '08 style hood, temps should be a tad lower and the bling factor is also nice. Had to shave the mount so that it would sit flush with the front crossover bracket, and I will probably paint them black in the future. Added some 1/8" rubber gasket material to hold them in place without scratching the motons and they are ROCK solid.

For the rears, same set-up. I cut a 2 3/4" hole in the trunk tub to get the canister in and then used a piece of plastic (door knob wall shield), drilled a 9/16" hole in the middle, cut an access slot, added a rubber grommet, and voila. Looks great, easy to adjust, and easy access to add/check pressure.

John what did you do on the drivers side front? I am working on mounting mine and there is some vacuum lines in the way.

Fit is a bit tight on drivers side because of those vacuum lines. I'm still trying to figure out a cleaner install, as they are bunched a little too close for comfort.

That's the one! At $24 each it's a pretty good deal as well. As I mentioned above, for the fronts I used a dremel tool with cutting wheel to cut off one of the "wings" so that the base is more triangle shaped instead of diamond shaped. Used some self tapping screws after drilling a pilot hole to attach the mount to the cross-brace for the fronts. Used nut rivets for the rears (use caution when drilling thru the trunk tub - I just barely drilled thru.)

I ordered some red ones. That is a nice clean install. I need to find out where I can get new labels/stickers for my canisters as the existing ones are messed up.

What are nut rivets?
