    This is a thread to post pics of different configurations of compressors, tanks, valves, etc. to help those trying to figure out cool ways to mount everything up.

    And an older pic of the setup in my car (I've cleaned up the wires and mounted everything now):

    here is my setup, the tank and the valves are very old, they were on another car at least for 3 years before i got them, but surprisingly still work.
    i also have a spare wheel inside , so thats the reason everything is exposed like that, plan to do a lot of work to the whole system, just need to find some mk4 lowering springs, so i could still drive the car while working on my air.

    Incase you aren't quite sure what you're looking at.

    2008 Cadillac SRX with the tank and compressor mounted underneath the car. It's in a void above the spare tire. The spare tire mounts right back in it's stock location hiding what you see now. Valves are mounted inside the vehicle.

    2003 Infinity G35 Sedan.

    Tank is colour matched and we made allowances to add a second compressor. All the ugly stuff is mounted behind the tank.

    We are re-working a Mercedes S500 trunk set up with hardlines, ostrich and stereo so when we're done, we'll get some pictures of that up.

    Damn Kevin, the more I look at the setup in that CTS, the more I want to re-do my system. The work you guys do is absolutely gorgeous!

    Wish you were local!
