Very...um...southwestern?!? It's nice, but I don't wear cowboy boots. I will think about it, though. Thanks for making stuff for Maxima's either way.

As I just said, they are ready to go just plain, with no design on top.

Guys, so many people are asking if they are available without the logo, and the answer is yes!!!!! Also, I checked with Nissan, and that in fact, I cannot do without their written permission.
Thanks

It really does look neat. I like the battery dress-up. Just got an oil filler cap though. I'm trying to alternate, physics, flash, physics...Working on exhaust right now. Also, the Chrome Razo shifter looks fantastic. I get a kick out of it everytime I shift.

I think a brushed aluminum billet tie down would be cool.

Im planning on ordering one of the plain ones soon.
I guess everyone still has these maxima,nismo,gt-r things that they wanted engraved and are just waiting to see whats the final result before purchasing I guess.

We just thirty more plain ones (all polished) in....
We can do whatever the hell people want, just everyone come to a consensus, and we will rock and roll, and engrave whatever you all want. If Jambo could e-mail me back, we could do Maxima.org

Is there a possibility of making bends in the tie down?

____xxxxxxxx _______
xxxx\_______/

(x's are just filler for alignment on the screen)

Something like this would allow for the smaller optima batttery, yet hold the relocated coolant resevoir (s/c).

I can measure it out if it's possible.

Measure it, give me the distances (length, width) give me bend sizes and we are good to go.

Is there anyway to make them straight cut rather than flare out at the ends?? IMHO i think it woul look cleaner just being rectangular in shape but with curved edges as pictured. Also can you make them without any logo AT ALL?? just plain polished...

Im in for one as soon as you finalized some designs.

2 conditions that need to be considered:

1) will it fit an Optima Yellow/Red/Blue/Orange top battery
2) will work with factory posts to for securing

thanks,

Ant

Erik, it wont interfere with any of your wiring, unless you have wires litterally running across your battery and underneath your battery holder.

Ok, we have the plain ones out right now, as many different people have ordered them. We have the straight cut ones coming out within two weeks, and these will not flare out, rather be straight across in a rectangular shape.

Thank you all for your feedback, it is very much appreciated.
