Default Question on DIY Battery Den Cover
I cut a den cover from Lexan and the overall fit seems fine. I have not cut the opening for the relay cover yet. The cover clears the relays so would it be ok to leave the stock relay cover off? Also, does the cover need vent holes for the battery?

I believe I would cut the hole for the relay box. I am sure the relay box cover has a better fit and seal to keep the nasty stuff out.

Just my Thoughts

Everyone I've seen has the cutout for the fusebox cover. Must be some reason for that...I'd do the cutout.
