Default Battery Cover

Can anyone tell me where I can find a battery cover? I would like to cover up my battery, but can't seem to find anything that doesn't look cheap.

Thanks

Thanks sleepinghawk...

Carbon Fiber or colored Kevlar is an option... ~Joshua 678/492/6843

Pick your color.


An example.

You're not supposed to post up non-sponsor vendors. You can get in trouble if a moderator sees it. You might want to delete the non-sponsor info. FYI

ohhh my god I hate how some of this crap on this site works. we all know the vendors have them, but why do they gotta block out e-bay. I mean the vendors have some nice covers and what nots (especially you josh) but e-bay is way cheaper and since this site is "supposed" to help people and **** I dont understand why we cant help them find a good deal on something like e-bay

Joshua, I assume that the batteries between the 4th gens and the 3rd gens are the same size, so technicly one of those would work for me, right?

Yeah, they work on 3rd,4th and C5's.

They don't fit the Optima (red tops)for example. They're made to fasten onto flat batteries.


On the ebay issue, I used to be all in for finding deals, That's why I started this business. To give the best stuff at the lowest price!!! You 'aught to see how little money I make on each deal becasue it's not about the money. Before I was a sponsor I always asked for links via PM's. I never went out of bounds when it came to sponsors because I respected the fact that they are the ones that pay for this whole thing to be here in the first place. ~Joshua

At the risk of getting flamed, which I don't really care if I do or don't, I will agree with the ^^^^^^^ statement by our newest sponsor. We should respect the fact that these people and companies do pay an lot of money to sell their wares on here and should be promoted for doing so. If you have an Ebay link, that's fine, but PM or email it to the specific person requesting it, don't post it. As for me I give up an EXTRAORDINARY amount of money everytime I refer someone for FRCs to Afterthought's Auto,rather than post ME, ME, ME, but I do it because it's the right thing to do and I respect that.

Sooooooooooo, links by PM/email= cool, posting in a thread that means competition to a paying sponsor = uncool.

It seems like the metal (Aluminum, Stainless) covers would be fairly easy to make and polish or paint yourself.

But the CF... those are some nice pieces!
