Not very impressed with Buschur's mini battery kit.

That's funny. I've had no issues with my Odyssey battery which is over a year old and went through a NE winter. What experience do you have?
GSC battery tray is the best ive seen.

I have not seen the Buschur battery tray yet so I can't comment on it. I have the Nisei unit and it is very high quality. The ONLY thing I could think of to improve it (and I am surprised more aftermarket parts manufacturers don't pay attention to this) is that the little screws that hold the top plate on are not stainless steel. They are just regular black tool steel. They rust very quickly.

As you can see the Genesis has the stainless top bolts.
UBC not stainless you can see the black bolts.
There is a difference in price though. I think the UBC is about $45 bucks cheaper. So, I guess the difference is you get what you pay for.
If you guys want more info you can take a look at:

It also has a lot of sharp edges that look like they could chafe the wiring harness that rubs the tray. I expected a lot more from Buschur for $225.00.

there are some sick looking billet trays out there, but too expension. IMO I can't justify paying $200+ for a $65.00 battery and peice of aluminum.
A thread was posted a while ago with dimensions to a DIY sheetmetal tray... thats more my style

Nothing some high gloss spraypaint, stickers and a bodykit can't make up for.
