Default Homemade Battery Cover Pics

thanx to LS1PoweredZ28 for the idea....

i made my own cover from aluminum flashing, riveted the seams, polished it up and added an LS1 decal....its thin metal but to the casual observer i think it looks pretty good and it only cost 9 bucks including getting the 4 dollar decal made....

what do u all think???
