need battery trays

I'm going to put in Optimas to replace my stock batts. But I want to get rid of the big batt box/trays so I can just have more room. Where can I get a good battery tray that will mount in that location and fit an optima ?

These are real nice. I bet they are a bit pricey but they will spruce up the engine compartment a bit too.

find a buddy with a MIG , some sheet metal and make some custom. A square box is not that hard but if you want to fit those optimas perfectly , now that is custom.

Fitting an Optima is not hard and it is easier if you use some angle and a few battery tie down bolts.

I've seen two optimas set on the passenger side. You just wind up the extra cabling and tuck it under somewhere. Then you have the whole drivers side for intake fun.

I found this site while poking around. I like the Trans cooler they offer also. Pretty cool. I couldn't find any prices though. The Black is nice too. Country. http://www.qualitypowerauto.com/cata...products_id=51
