Maybe I will start making them and selling them if I have some interest in them. Can someone post the pic if I email it to them?

Sorry about not getting the pics emailed so they could be posted. It totally slipped my mind. I will email them to you now.

they look nice, but what is it?!? Fiberglass or ABS, or what!??! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> I would really like one to surround the battery on the top and two exposed sides, with cables running under it as well. Anyone?!?!

It is heat formed plexiglass that was painted to match the car. I am working on a few new ones that cover the 2 exposed sides of the battry as you described. I am also trying to work with carbon fiber to make carbon covers. I will get some pics when I get he new ones finished.
If anyone wants th one on my Vette I will sell it for $48,000 and throw the car and everything else in for free <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
