I read a few other threds about the optima batteries and people tend to say all you need is the red top, but I have plans for a massive stereo upgrade in the near future so I figured this was the best way to go. not to mention a little AIRRIDE!!!!! :thumbsup:

In my review I mention that you have to modifty the battery holder slightly. All that is required is cutting out a little plastic on the end. It will depend on which yellow top u go with. Mine is 10 inches long, the smaller one, D75/25 is only 9.3 inches, and that will probably fit with no mods.
