Question Cheap, nice looking catch can?

Does anyone know where to get an inexpensive but nice looking catch can? I would just make it myself, but I am starting to clean up my engine bay and want one that looks nice. Greddy's are too expensive for me right now. Any suggestions? I am looking for something in the $20-$30 range. Thanks!

How has it been holding up? I have heard that those air compressor filters don't hold up well under heat. Thanks for any info!

Mount it away from the motor, that is where you might have heard some problems. I mounted mine near my radiator and away from the motor. Here are some great directions, replace the PCV valve while your at it too (yank it out of the boot it sits in)

BTW- My air compressor seperator listed above costed 12.xx with tax at Walmart.

Go to any autozone or auto store and ask them for a PCV valve for your car. They will grab you one off the shelf, thats all I did. It just slides in side of this boot securely, just yank the old one out with a pliars. BTW- Its like 2 dollars for the new PCV.
