Default Optima Red Top Terminal Covers?

I recently bought a Optima red top battery from a friend at work. I can't seem to find the top terminal post covers anywhere (shown on the battery in the pic). Since I won't be using the top posts, I'd like to cover them. My friend used the top posts for his car, so the covers are long gone. If anyone could help me out, I'd appreciate it

Thanks for the link.

I was sort of interested in them until I saw the shipping charges I do plenty of shipping on my own via the Post Office, and I know that it wouldn't cost $7.50-$8.50 to ship a piece of plastic by Priority Mail from Florida to Indiana

I'll sleep on it, and maybe tomorrow I'll want one

I'm sticking with red to match my color scheme.

i know you didn't buy it at a store, but go to an autoparts store and ask them for some. they let me take them off of one on the shelf. that's what i did for mine when i was in your same situation
