Mines bolted to the floorboard between drivers door and seat. Thats just one of those things where function is more important than looks.

What kind of extinguishers are you guys using? ABC Dry Chem, Water?? You would want at least a 5lb ABC Dry Chem extinguisher.

2 3lb dry chem extinguishers. one on each side up front between the seat base and door.

This way either me or my passenger has quick access to one in an emergency.

I used to keep one in the trunk of my old car and a fast moving electrical fire made me realize that seconds matter and by the time i got the trunk open and the extinguisher out the damage was already done. I would rather have been cleaning up white powder than replacing tons of wiring under my dash.
