Optima battery which model?
#13
Well i finally picked up my Optima ( RED ) top model 73/32-OR $ 119.99 w/ core exchange at my local Autozone. Installation is straight forward, i just stretch the ( + positive ) cable a bit but it was not a big deal

modify, yes somewhat. the red piece on top is a direct 90degrees. as you can see, i had to bend mine roughly 30 degrees, so the red piece on top did not fit. i had to cut off part of it so that it would close snug.
also, it went into the sideposts, which you have to purchase seperately. do NOT, i repeat, do NOT buy GM Side terminal mounts, as those are for GM vehicles, which you can see from the ground one (just for asthetics) is hexagon shaped. you need to buy regular side posts. you can buy it at any autoparts store for like $5 or any interstate dealer, as interstate is the parent owner of optima.
other than that, it's a tight fit, but it fits.
