I never had a problem with it.. later on someone else got one and not tape (and the mention of "show only".. I wonder if something happened???

Poltergeist has been running his on the car 24/7 for some time now with no problems..

Check out this thread on LS1.com

Custom Battery Covers

This will take you to last post in thread - click on page 1 at top left corner to start from beginning to see sample pics and ordering info.

His name is Bernie Villescas and his LS1 Handle is Stangkillin99ss@aol.com

He does EXCELLENT work and covers are only around $30! He will work with you to design as you want and send you 'proof' pics before he ships to make sure that you are satisfied. I received mine 2 weeks ago and couldn't be happier with the results. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
