OEM Fire Extinguisher
finally had it installed. the dealer installed it for me while my car was in for service the past 2 weeks. here are some pics. thanks for the bracket sunman and sending me the fire extinguisher. also the shop foreman printed the WIS for removing the headliner in a coupe and im going to install my Interior Motion Sensor this weekend and of course will post pics of the install and instructions for those who would like to do that mod. also ill copy the WIS for removing the coupe headliner and email if anyone wants them.
as you can see the extinguesher is not very noticable from the driver position.

I would like to know why someone would put that in a car. I would think you would need this, more in a kichen, rather then a car. But that's me. haha

rockintunes23, its all good. im not surprised you'd ask that. basically it was another OEM mod for me to install in my car. probably never use it, but then again you never know. my car may catch on fire with a flamer inside, so good thing i have it just in case.

Don't regulations in some countries require that a car be outfitted with a fire extinguisher? Definitely not in the US, but I vaguely remember that in some European countries it is a must-have.

In almost thirty years, I've only needed a fire estingisher once from the car. Was I glad it was there. Saved a 67 GMC truck we were doing an engine swap on when gas leaked out of the carburator and caught fire.
