Battery cover's

[ZeusJr]

Ok, it is finally time to awaken the beast from hibernation.. :fluffy: Since Delco batteries are junk and tend to leak I removed mine and put it in my grandfathers old Caddy cause his died and I figured it's better to leak in his old POS then in my TA.. :lol: Anyways now I need to put a need battery in my TA and will be installing a Optima Red Top. :D

So now I'm looking for ideas for a battery cover... After a quick search these are the one's I've found posted on LS2.com. Anyone else have any other PICs? :confused:

Thanks everyone.. :cool:

This was "borrowed" from "BernieBlackBird" from the other board.....the stock Red plastic color was too much to look at, 3 coats of NBM and 3 coats of clear. The lettering is not perfect, it's a pain in the ass to get it looking like a real decal, but it turned out good enough for me, and at a total of $25 for all of it......you can't beat it.....

link for color matchng from Duplicolor..... http://duplicolor.anthonythomas.com/match2/match_maker.cgi

battery cover..... http://www.powerstridebattery.com/store/getstoreframe.cfm?store=frame&homepage=yes&background=blank.gif&bgcolor=white&CFID=372173&CFTOKEN=80208110=10

and the chrome tape came from AutoZone, look in the decal section....

[smokinws6]

Those stainless ones are nice looking....

[macon]

I did the cheap thing...I have an Optima Red Top and peeled the labels...cleaned with WD40 to shine up. Looks good in a Black compartment...have the Red Hotchkiss Strut Bar coming to add a little more red to the compartment...new to this so I have to figure out how to post a photo!

Thanks for the comments.:cool:

[smokinws6]

OK EZ, I'll ask, where did you get the SS covers???

[ezekielta]

I make them. PM me if interested.

[Z28LT1350]

what can you make for the lt1 z28s?

[SS LS1 MI]

The MBA ones are very nice and expensive but if I like to have a more personalized one so I made my own from stainless steel and had the decals custom made. Use your inagination and make your own to your style.:)
