New look for MBA battery cover While a number of people seem to not like the MBA battery cover I pretty much have. The thing that I did like about it was the scalloped edges on it. While a machinist was doing some other work for me I started talking with him about the cover and having him make aother one for me with either a rounded edge or a beveled edge. He said he could change the scalloped one for me and save me the cost of a new one. So I figured what the hell. So here it is. I think it fits in more with the engine bay now.
The old look.

Re: New look for MBA battery cover Hey Rob, that looks much better! I especially hated the "scalloped" edge of the MBA plate, I like the way the bevelled edge is unfinished (un-anodized). Gives it a more refined look. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
