What's the oil catch can do? And those braided lines look really nice. I would be inspired and do this to my tl. But i have to return it.

No matter how many times I see the pictures I'm always amazed.
I just noticed that the braille battery has a CF pattern to it, did it come like that or did you apply the CF sheets on the battery to match the engine bay?

that is a CF braille battery. it has a real CF shell around it. all the carbon fiber you see in the bay is real. and the best thing about it is it all matches perfectly

It looks clean but I am in favor for the stripped plan look.

Has anyone done a wiretuck on a TL?
The battery is cool, who makes it?
For the kevlar hose covers, I would of shrinked wrapped the ends.

That's a definite nice battery! I had to ask because I wasn't sure... the match was, like you said, perfect!
I'm in need of a new battery. I think I might opt for a CF braille battery now too! Thanks for the inspiration! =o =D

cool, just to let you know it will fit fine, if you dont mind mounting it upside down, cuz the negative terminal is on the left and the stock ground(negative) cable is too short to reach over to the left side. so by mounting it upside down the cable will reach. or you could relocate the ground cable. i just bought a 1' 4 gauge cable and relocated it. plus i made my own battery mount here check it. https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...117&highlight=

Can you explain why you took the 9mm over the 15 mm?

I was researching this online and looking at the application. I know there are two universal kits (9mm and 15mm) and some made for specific car applications

For EK, EG, S2000, intergra's they use 9mm
For the Odessy, they use a 15 mm

Thanks for your help
