[Big D]

Would anyone be interested in a Billet Optima Battery Holder?
We can get these for $85.00 plus shipping if we can get 10 people. I will take a 50% deposit from all who sign up once we have 10. This does include both top and bottom plates and the long screws. No anodizing, choose your own.

oOOh.. thats kinda cool. -=P how much we talkin?

[ARunto]

how much?

[Natey]

Can we order 'em anodized?

[CitizenPro]

Sweet! im down...its the top and bottom right? price?

[Big D]

Not sure about pricing, I am buiding a web site for my customer, he makes all kinds of billet car parts, but mostly for Chevy, Ford kind of stuff. I am going to show him my car and we are going to see what other kind of things we might be able to do. Will find out about pricing and all the parts and pieces for the battery.

I saw similar products on ebay and that things costs $50~100...
anyway, let us know how it goes.

im down 100%... i just picked up my optima today and its a bit too long for the stock tray, gonna have to dremel off the rear tray lip. the battery is also alot shorter than stock so i have to find a way of securing it from the top... itd be awesome if this aluminum tray will bolt up to the car like the stock plastic one

[Mr. Win]

good shit ill buy one

[rednecks_r_us]

My optima fit the tray just fine. I just had to make a top bracket. I used flat steel and bent it to the shape that I needed. Drilled out two mounting holes. Then painted with anodized paint. Cost me less than $10 to make.

See my cardomain page for a picture of it.

[dominoy2k1]

no offense or anything, not that your idea is bad or anything but yeah this one looks better.

[rednecks_r_us]

I replied before the picture loaded. Your right that does look cool.

[natedizzle]

i'd buy one

[nikshooter]

put me down for one(2thumbs)

I haven't gotten my Optima battery yet, but I think Id totally be down for getting one of these holders. That way, when I finally get around to buying the Optima I'll already have the holder sitting around.

[joker1977]

i want one. do you think it'll be done for when i get back from iraq. next month some time.

[Big D]

New updated pricing, etc. in first post

[Mr. Win]

well they come in diffrent sizes? can you powder coat?

[Big D]

No andodizing, powder coating, etc. But I will ask if he can etch MAZDASPEED or Protege 5 on it. That should be easy enough to do. I will find out which Optima fits our cars and that should be the size we need.

[Mr. Win]

ill tell you my size when i get home

[Big D]

Oh golly I hope your battery size?

[vIZIon4]

if it will be a direct bolt-on that will support the optima, im down...

[Minus]

looks like it would be too easy to drop the battery cable on the metal plates and shock the hell out of you

[Mr. Win]

very true id be more comfortable if there was ruberdown the center no arc!

[Big D]

I have a custom one getting made with Protege' 5 Etched in, will post pictures as soon as I have it.

[viVid]

I'm interested...

[bazooka joe]

whats up with this GB?

[Big D]

Sorry have been very busy, I will update everyone next week when I get back home.

[steve_protege]

Id like to get a battery holder fabbed for the trunk. I need it to hold my Yellowtop in place while it powers my stereo system. If you could, would it be too much to have "Protege" or "Boom Boom" etched on it?
