Smile My $2 brake reservoir cover

This seriously cost me about $2 to make... if I can do it, anyone can do it.


Before: lol @ at the res I have no idea what the hell happened to it, it was like that when I first bought the car.



After:












and that's that I just need to find a black ring or something to cover up the neck of the reservoir and I'll be 100%

Looks great. For the ring I would go the hardware store and pick up a tank to bowl bushing for a toilet, should work great and it will be black.

Looks good! How did you get your FRC's looking stock? Like how did you get that texture?
