I hollowed out the foam from the underside of the back seat to be able to use it as a "cover" for the battery box.

It doesn't really quite fit down on there though, because I still have too many cables going everywhere.

Once I get my cabling really figured out, it will all run out of the way of the seat, which should make a nice cover.

I also bought some of those cheap rubber bumpers designed to go in between spring coils to help boost them. The car rides so low that ANYTHINGs gotta help at this point!
