I contacted a guy who machines these battery boxes and has an eBay store. He said he can design something up for us (free of charge) or we can send him a design and they can produce them. This is the one they make for the Supra

info:
All of the pieces of this tray have been CNC machined out of1/2" and 3/8" thick 6061 T6 aircraft quality billet aluminum. All of the mounting hardware and the hardware to bolt this box together, are included, and are stainless steel. The top and the bottom are both recessed to hold the battery better, and each side has two 1/4" bolts on the top and on the bottom to make sure the battery stays were you put it. This battery box has a brushed finish. As you can see the top has a cool supra design, and the bottom has the WCM logo of Wieland Custom Machine.


The Supra one is priced at $125 and he said he would take 12% off for an order of 10. We might be able to talk him down a bit more.

If anyone wants to come up with a design, please post it here!

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

how about this badge batman put on



i agree, 125 is steep for a battery box, but im sure we could get it down

woops 12% off is 110. aint that bad considering the amount of machining involved

The way I see it is that I either spend the money and get something I really like or settle for something that's a bit cheaper and then end up getting sick of it. Not to mention, this looks like it's quality product.

I think it looks really good, and would be the perfect addition for anyone with a really clean engine bay, or something nice to show off like a swap. Unfortunately I have neither.

looks cool, but it seems like the terminals would hit the wiriting and cause the battery to short out, dont u think?

i dont have an optima either at the moment, but you can always buy one later. this box on the other hand might be a one time deal, so jump on .

djultimate, make sure that the person machining it knows that our celicas need the terminals above the Celica/Supra writing. Otherwise the only way I see this fitting in the engine bay without extending the battery cables would be to install it having the Celica writing upside down.

there are such things as periods and commas lol . i agree we should try to get it as cheap as we can. as for the design, it seems to me most agree with the cursive celica, so i dont think we need a pole. by the way, nice catch wannabe.
