its a optima battery cover that I painted to match the car.. the one from MBA products will NOT help you with an optima batter since it has posts on top (no you cant cut them.. trust me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> ) .. I got it for around $11 for a place called Powerstride batteries in Corona, CA.. I had to explain what it was and then they ordered it from Optima..
Here is their site.. many locations but I got mine from the one in Corona..

Hope this helps..

Just click on Steve2000SS's link and go to their on-line catalog and search by OPTIMA. It is the last item on the list on the first page. Its $9.95 or something along those lines.

Re: Need Help Finding Battery Cover
Check over on LS1.com in the classifieds. Some guy down in Texas does some pretty nice work with battery covers. Pretty decent prices, too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Relocate the battery to the trunk/spare tire area. Problem solved! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
