I have some posted with the rest of my pictures. If you need some closer ones, I can get them for you. Mine is the plastic piece that is made by Optima for the red tops.

I got it online from www.powerstridebattery.com. Their online store is down right now but you can still get it from them. It is Optima part number AD-24R and is red when you get it and you can paint it whatever you want. I paid $18.08 for mine through them.

I had picked up a satin battery cover from MBA Products. Sat here for a while and I got bored one day.
