Have not installed it yet because I didn’t realize I don’t have a flat top battery. I am hoping it ate right but I am probably going to have to order the post extenders. Otherwise it’s pretty neat and NPD price beats others.

Looks just like what came with my 67 Firebird - the key is make sure your current battery doesn’t need modifications

Decent product but way too expensive. It cost me $67 including shipping. It should be about half that price.

We are sorry that you are disappointed with the cost of this cover. But please understand that injection-mold tooling is extremely expensive. And for something like this, a relatively niche product that is sold in limited numbers (as opposed to a household plastic item you’d find at Walmart, sold by the hundreds of thousands), that tooling cost is divided into the finished cost of the piece. You’ve got tooling for the cover, plus two different styles of caps. And on top of that, icing on the cake, is 12% of the sales goes to GM for licensing. 

Nobody is getting rich on these covers, it just is what it is I’m afraid, and this is frequently the most common reason that reproduction restoration parts can be quite expensive. It’s the cost of the tooling amortized over the volume of production. The less volume, the higher % the tooling factors in.
