So one day I was thinking what I could do to hide my ugly battery and the ugly wiring near it, so I got the idea to fab up a piece to cover it. First I made a carboard template, then went to town cutting the metal to fit. Then I scratched it up. Painted it black, and dressed it up a little with my car club logo. Let me know what you think. I need to get my motor dressed up some more before nopi so give me some ideas, also I have the header cover and its painted black, just not in the pic.


List of mods/dress up (some not pictured)

Carbon fiber fuse box cover.
Billet Dipstick
Billet radiator cap cover
Falken "Factory Tuned" Strut bar
Aem intake painted
Painted PS and coolant overflow
misc. wire loom.

Thanks man, I got myself thinkin lol, I'm trying to figure out how to do something on the other side or perhaps from the block to the radiator between the brackets. who knows what i'll come up with next.

don't look bad. i woulda just done a relocation on the battery and put it in a battery box in the back of the car. then you coulda had the engine bay opened up a bit. fing02.gif

Looks good man. I wish I could do that, but my battery terminals are ment to be seen. They show battery voltage.

You need to turn your car around the other way and take some pix. I'm interested in seeing your new trunk setup.... cleaned.

i have my moms work fabing me up some stanless mirror look cover but its only on the sides then you will just see the blue top of my battery.

have you thought about getting your intake manifold powder coated? or not messing with the exhaust heat sheild and just getting some nice ramshorn headers for look/preformace aspect.

something like the kspec or SFR manifolds

Optimo, I considered the IM, and may do it once winter sets in, all of the powdercoating places around here are SLOW. and I did consider the manifold thing until I saw the price, sure it may help a little on the horsies but dont they still turn brown and burnt looking?

ceramic coated ones don't, they stay nice and silver...

Even so, browned shiny headers > your rusty headers + heat shield

Car looks damn sharp though!

they dont rust, its just cheaper SS turns color under extreme heat. those nicer manifolds will turn a much RICHER golden/silver color. almost like this one



or this one
