It's because if you get rear ended the COLLISION will disconnect the battery. Anywhere on the rearmost part of the car is ok. As long as it is labled and not hidden. SRT DEMON ONE SEAT

Just didn't have much place to put it because it is a polara and I didn't like it on the bumper..I just wanted it to be visible without being glaringly obvious, and next to the plate would do that well. Thanks everyone. Last edited by Kevins440; 02/28/09 07:03 PM.
