Looking to replace my red plastic + battery terminal cover...

Cracked in the cold while I was jumping someone (the max always starts). Anyone know where I could find a replacement besides the stealership? Anyone have one? Thanks!

That thing is missing on my car as well.
It's on my list next time I'm at the dealership...

$15 for a small piece of plastic that does nothing. Yyyyeeaaahh, not worth it.

This from a guy who spent how much time and effort to change the color of his dash lights and polish the intake manifold?

The cover may not be entirely worthless; could prevent shorting-out the battery should a tool accidently contact + terminal and any grounded part under the hood.

Just my $0.02...

Yeah, but my point is the PRICE. I probably spent like $25 on everything I needed for my LED jobs and IM polishing.

$15 for some pretty piece of plastic under the hood? Hell, yeah! That's a no-brainer.

(Well, for me, at least.)

But seriously... protect your positive lead, and color-match that pretty Merlot Maxima.

I agree, Rochester.
I spent $20 just to replace the wrinkled hamburger on my engine cover, $15 on the
+ terminal cover is cheap.

Troop, it all starts with the engine cover burger. And then you're hooked.

Good luck.
