Default Anyone have install pics of a accusump on a C6

Just trying to get some ideas of placement of the accusump. I want to install the 3 quart and some had said to install it on the passenger side front front fender (where the z06 dry sump tank would be). I read that a 3 quart doesn't fit on the drivers side like it does on the c5. Any thoughts or other placement ideas?

I am also interested in installing this in my LS3. Since I don't have the dry sump, I am looking for extra protection.

Not sure I'll need one of these so asking out of curiosity........ how is the 3qts of additional oil added to this unit?

With the stock Z oil is added directly into the dry sump tank so how does this work when added to a non-dry sump car?

It fills from the oil pressure from the motor, it has an internal piston that equalizes the air pressure behind it with the oil pressure from the motor.

That looks as if it is installed in the inner portion of the fender instead of the c5's that most have installed outside of the engine compartment.
