I was bored yesterday and decided to make a cover for my battery from stuff I had laying around the house.

Fan control module.
I was thinking about getting some diamond plate to make some cool covers for the battery,replacing that cardboard on top of the rad,etc.. Does diamond plate come in different thicknesses? How did you attach that to the battery?

word of wisdom to all who might try this.. ecus and battery terminals that are connected by a piece of metal are not good.. be carefull when working with metal around batteries.. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif nice cover

awesome. If I made a battery cover out of stuff I had laying around it would be like.. an empty pop tart box or something haha. I vote to paint it black too.. I think it would look even better then. Your car looks super clean

Re: (GLI_16vee)
Can that P/S fluid resovoir be a direct swap onto any A2 or does it involve something major and unpleasant....like changing Power Steering lines?

Re: (digifant_gli)
Thank you. The swap was done by Jeffrey B. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
If I decide to keep the manifold black, I'll color match the cover as well. Im undecided right now tho.
That's the fuse for my stereo. Phoenix Gold blade type.
2" industrial velcro. I was bending the aluminum trying to see how hard it was to remove.
This is my Civic - S10 - GL VR6 conversion and the daimond plating is staying
