Only $369,, that's probably what Leno spends for lunch. Over priced mod, I'll pass..............

There was one - notice I said was.

Price was less that $100 - couldn't give them away.

That is hard to believe. The concept is there maybe it was not advertised. I never saw it.
Maybe we can contact the vendor to try again. Who was the vendor???

It does look like it's a nice fitting one. It looks snug and nicely done. But I agree, way too much $$$ for a battery cover.

A better price will sell more.

Try www.acivette.com. They make fiberglass battery covers! Much cheaper than carbon fiber, and you can paint any way you want! They're only like $120.

Wow! Almost $400 to introduce a possible rattle. Why didn't I think of that?

Here is the one I bought from TKO in yellow carbon fiber when they were still doing carbon fiber pieces. It didnt cost that much but it was expensive.

Definately pricey!!! I've been looking for carbon fiber engine bay covers to match with RK Sport and those are the best to match so I purchased the carbon fiber battery cover and carbon fiber radiator shroud cover from C6 Performance to finally complete my Carbon Fiber Engine Bay. I ended up getting a discount being a forum member, plus buying the 2 items. Still alittle expensive but I've been looking for something to match up with everything and these are the covers for me. Also, the Carbon Fiber Battery Cover is being discounted they no longer produce them. I got 1 of the last ones!!!
