Default What to use to cover battery

I relocated my battery to the back and im looking for something to put where it went. ie stand alone take. or just a flush cover, instead of a huge gapping hole there.

i don't think anyone makes covers for that. I would say you would have to make your own or give someone like specialized stainless or emblempros a call and see if they would make one.

we sell a battery side stand alone tank. Just a bit pricey if you are simply trying to cover it up though. If you use nitrous it might be worth it

yep, fiberglass reinforced plastci, one side is bumpy, but the other is smooth....i also made a PCM cover out of some kinda plastic gutter lookin thing i found in my garage when i bought my house. After alot of shaping, painting etc...it looks awesome, and is easliey removed if needed. cost me like 12 bux for the lil GM spray paint i used, and a couple bux more for the clear.

some gm trucks around 94-98 (?) c-k1500 were set up for 2 batteries (diesel apps), but had only one battery. those gas apps used a "tool" box to take up the space. now i know our cars use a 75 series battery, the trucks may use a 78 series battery and i don't remember what size that box was. it is plastic with a pop up lid and says GM on it. it wouldn't look too out of place if you could get one to fit. it was really handy on the trucks, you could put oil, tools, and rags in it and be totally out of sight. just lurking, thought i would add...
