You mean the "Molded plastic cover" from moparmall ? |

Location: The Mile High City | a little spendy from the mall! Try this: https://www.tartopper.com/product/tartopper/ decent decals are available too https://www.classicindustries.com/product/md4181.html end result http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=35938&posts=16&start=1 I slapped it on a NAPA Gold and that battery lasted me 10 years. Came time to replace it, I did the exact same thing. I didn't even consider buying one of the super-pricey old-style batteries to replace it. Yeah, they aren't super high-quality, but at $20 each - get three of them! You are still way ahead. That's what I did and I'm still on my first tar topper and my first decal!

Location: Hay Lakes, Alberta, Canada | I buy "tractor" batteries from UFA. They look more the part than the new style ones, without the cost. |
