I cant show you any pictures. The compressor is behind the battery where the ABS computer is located. On an 08 this place is just an empty space. Big enough for two of the slime compressors. I don't know if there is enough room on the ABS models to to squeeze one of these small compressors in there. Just pull the battery out and take a look in there.

Thanks. I have an 09 non-ABS model, but was more wondering how you are holding it in place than anything. I wouldn't want it sliding around or free to move or bounce.

Murph, you're missing some critical information about the pump on that page : Dimensions and weight!

I ended up with this particular kit in my trunk.

http://automotive.hardwarestore.com/90-545-tire-inflators/spare-tire-repair-kit-660593.aspx

Haven't had to use it yet, but I stuck a plug kit in the plastic/nylon bag to boot.  It has the 'flippy' end on the compressor hose, so it should remove quickly.  It doesn't take up a lot of space, and I suppose you might be able to fandangle it into the space behind the battery, but I haven't tried (that's what my trunk is for).
