    Default optima redtop, where to get it?

    need a battery for my car... im guessing the redtop will be sufficient enough for my setup. im only running one jl 500/1 along with a few electronic goodies..

    so who has the best price? need to pick one up asap.

    good deal. people just don't shop around enough, so they never find the good deals.

    Have you considered Kinetik. They are about the same price but charge faster so your alternator doesn't work quite as hard. Here's one for Honda and Mitsu but they make all kinds. http://cgi.ebay.com/KINETIK-CAR-AUDI...QQcmdZViewItem

    find someone that can get blemished ones for you. my friends dad got me a yellow top for $55 and red tops were like $45. only thing wrong with them is there may be a little scratch on them.

    your pm box is full... so....

    just wanted to say thanks for meeting up with me. i really appreciated it. i'll let you know if the battery ends up working or not lol... hopefully it works. *crosses fingers*

    and my bad about not being able to stay longer... i had my girl and my dog and both of them were grouchy and hungry. i've already learned my lesson when it comes to depriving them from food hahah

    anyways... when i get my car up and running, you should come out again.
