Hey guys,

For all you SB owners out there......... who has been able to hide theirs the best. I have spent too long in the cramped foot well trying to hide the SB and cable but can't seem to get it totally hidden away from prying eyes. Any suggestions on how best to hide it would be appreciated?

Hide the unit under the floors carpet like i did. but, you'll have to take out the plastic side covers of the footwell first in order for you to access under the carpet. slightly extra work, but the results, a very clean & stock looking mod! nobody will know there's a sprintbooster installed...(except for a slight buldge underneath the carpet beside the pedal, that is if you really look hard enough...)

I used a razor knife to cut the carpet a little bit where the wire comes out. I was able to fit the entire unit under the carpet nicely. There is no way you can tell that I have it installed unless you step on the gas.
