ok guys since AZ was down yesterday i went ahead and installed my carbon fiber barille battery. any shmuck can put in a battery use the stock battery tie down and call it a day. NOT ME! i wanted to put my fabricating skills to the test, so i came up with this design, grabbed my tools and did work. i'll let the pics do the talking for now.

















what do you guys think?

 

Sweet...looks nice for sure.

 

Bro, you are a true handyman!! First the strut bar, and now a custom battery bracket and tie down! Ingenious.

 

very nice

 

Couldn't agree more. That is definately badass!

 

wow you take your mods to a whole other level! props!

 

ok before I purchased mine I googled these batteries... guys have been making custom brackets for it for ages... THIS BRACKET... on the other hand is above and beyond what I've seen before... but damn dude... for all that you shoulda just bought the $15 frp they got... lol it only weighs 12oz.

 

very nice job, that takes a very skilled person do to. Care to provide info on those neat battery cables...

 

wow~ thats very nice job!

 

oo lala make me one

 

woooow... a carbon fiber battery. Very nice installation..

 

Looks really good

 

very nice fab work...those cables are sweeet!

 

sweet clean job

 

damn jaime, looks sickkkkkkkk!!!!!

 

LMAO thats great!.... who'd u get the CF from? Talk about clean...thats wicked clean!

 

thats exactly what i didn't want. sure its $15 and less than a 1lb. but it looks like poo my bracket displays this CF beauty is super light cuz its made of aluminum and looks besides to buy one would take all the fun out of it.

THANKS!! on the props guys. since i was getting a CF battery i figured why hide it with some ugly stock tie down. the cables are the stock ones (except for the ground) i just removed the plastic tubbing and replaced it with some black braided sleeving. its heat resistant and looks alot better.

 

so basically you made the base and bracket to hold the CF cover right??
you didn't make the CF cover yourself did you??

and you were too chicken to clear your headlights??
don't make sense.....

nice skill by the way handyman~

 

lol that looks sick

 

Well I could be wrong, but I mean I'd personally rather mess up fabricating a base and bracket than mess up a entire housing/headlamps/balasts/hids which cost a fortune to replace than messing up on a piece of carbon fiber/plastic/ or a bracket. But that's just me.

 

I love it when you reply my posts~~
maybe I should raise my labour price on headlights.

by the way, i had to raise my car up a bit, was ridin too low....lol...so you win.

 

dang that's crazy! lol looks good man!

 

man...i wish knew about braille before i bought my freaking yellowtop...

 

That is the best I have EVER seen! How do you like the baby batt? Is it enough? Ever listen to the radio for a long time without the engine running? I live in Minnesota. I don't know if this is enough for my useage? I do listen to the radio for LONG times.....

 

looks sick.. ur on a roll w/ the mods lately..

 

DAMN JPTL04!!.....u keep the mods comin man!! very nice and creative yo!!

 

HAHA no problem. I can honestly say I would never attempt to black out my headlamps wouldn't want to take the risk of destroying or messing something up. So definate props to you being able to do that. And haha should charge more to do em. And yeah your car looked sick slammed like it was but understandable about too low lol.

 

i made the bracket to hold the CF battery, the battery came CF that way.

thanks man, sure it's more than enough, the amp rating is really good our stock battery has 550 CCA. the braille has 550 CCA and 892 CA, dry cell and is way lighter. my other battery in my previous TL died after 1 1/2 years, i didn't wait for this one to die before i upgraded.

thanks! i have a few more still to come, stay tunned, you wont be disappointed and i haven't even started on the system yet

 

whoa...can't wait!
i've seen your other TL before.....

i'm sure your audio set up this time will be better!!!

 

yea its gonna be something similar, only a little more refined, shoot i didn't even have enough time to really enjoy the last one before it got wrecked.

 

looks damn good
