Group Buy: "Celica" Billet Battery Box, for Optima batteries Options

[djultimate]

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!

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.

I sent him an email and told him to flip the writing (good call!)

i think we should still try hardest to get a cheaper price. i would be willing to pay te 110 but i would be more than happy to get cheaper. Maybe someone shoujld talk to him and ask him if he could lower the price we could get even more people willing to buy.

I'm sure we will be able to get the price down around $100 but only if we generate enough interest.

So far it's
1. djultimate
2. celicaST
3. defgeph
4. anubis0108
5. toyotatech
6. playr158
7. My2Celi
8. nik
9. Valo666
10.

I'll update the list as needed

We should shoot for about 20 or 25 of them in order to get them down to $100. But we need at least 10 orders to get them for $110.
