Talking A little Bling for the battery!

I stopped by the plastic supplier today and picked up some mirrored plexiglass. The thin stuff. I measured where my two battery posts were and made a cardboard template to test fit. Then I transferred it to the plexiglass and cut two .75" diameter holes. I just layed it on and added new anti-corrosion felts and put the nasty terminals back on for now. I'm planning to buy chrome dress up terminal covers soon and maybe add a bowtie to the center. Here's a few pics

That looks relly good Jim. Have been looking for a way to hide that nasty eye sore.

Re: A little Bling for the battery!

You know what would look good on that? A Glove Box Chevy emblem, the crome looking ones. Again, great piece.

Re: A little Bling for the battery!

I've been trying to figure out how to protect the bottom of the hood where the battery sits.... Looks good.
