I did a little investigating and here's what I've determined, making a overflow/ PS reservoir combo will create a lot of clutter in the engine bay so that's out (after all I'm trying to clean it up) so I did a little more searching and I'm thinking I could fit a small tank in the spot pictured below. It's the area right under the windshield wiper fluid fill spot, I can't remember what was originally there, but I remember removing it when I removed the OEM air box and installed my Stillen Gen 3s. I'm thinking the Mishimoto tank is my best bet so Im in the market . This project will have to be delayed for a bit but I'm hoping to tackle it in the next few weeks.

Just a thought but the Mishimoto tank is aluminum, can aluminum be welded?

You engine bay is so clean man!!

Here's another idea, thanks for Rid3_FaMOuS. This is the method I think ill actually pursue as I think ill be able to use the OEM reservoir. Mount it up near the front crash bar, then just run the hose to the right locations.

Here is a pic of his car as a reference.
