Explain what you want and they can order it (might have it in stock).. Optima makes red and yellow tops for all sizes cept the little red one.. cost was about $10..

The optima PEWTER top is a very rare battery and hence hard to find <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Mark, you were sorta right too.. so you win the cupie doll.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> -- I was always on the fence about the SS cover.. it wasnt my first choice but it looked better then the delco.. the optima is a much better battery (no acid to leak) and the color matched cover works out MUCH better.. I think a silver version in Marks car and a Electron Blue one in Andys new Berger would be good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
