    Are you tired of the crappy plastic Reservoir Tank that turns yellow and kills the look of your engine bay... Well I got with a friend of mine and we came up with this design right here.. It has the glass window to allow me to check the levels and it holds more fluids allowing the car to stay cooler..

    Looks good Jay, but I would say that the welds need to be cleaned up a little better.

    How much?

    Ive held one of these in my hand last week, They are a cool piece, but like Ron said needs to be a little cleaner, After all it is a show piece, No real performance benefits I can see.

    They are going for about 300.00 or less.. I will get a cost for you and let you know..

    Jay

    It is made from aluminum and it holds more fluids than the stock one...

    Hasnt Tracy been making these a long while for GSM? Same guy who does the 1/2 covers and phenolic spacers I met at GS one day. From the sound of the first post I thought Jay had designed this. Tracy nevers gets credit! And well all sell them Jay, that way Tracy can finally make some coin and get his due love.!!

    Yes this is the same Tracy and I never said I made them.. He re-designed these so yes he made some for GS but not these.. Also, He doesn't like to be mentioned on the boards so I call him the designer.. I agree we all need to sell these and help him out with the great works he does...

    Tracy and I work together with different projects all the time, so I do believe in giving credit where credit is due... He gets his dough from all the sells I make with no charge... :friends:

    I respect pretty much everything single thing you do Jay, but I'm not a fan of this at all. Looks a bit "industrial." I got my stock one painted semi-gloss black and left the measure strip unpainted and I looooove it just fine. I'll have to pass on this one......
