Default Battery Cover Recommendations

Looking for a black cover to hide my battery compartment, love to see some pics of what's available out there.

I fabbed one just like that. It has a gap around the fuse box that was intentional for venting off battery gasses. Otherwise, no problems.

That black one looks nice and clean. There are TONS of options out there. Just google C5 Corvette battery cover. I personally have a polished steel one from ACC as it fit the general theme of my engine bay.

Most of the major aftermarket vendors carried them at one time, so you might want to check with places like Mid America, Ecklers, West Coast Corvette, etc.
