Custom Optima Battery Box

I wanted to get a custom Optima battery box for by 1985 RX-7 and contacted this company. I was thinking of having the old school Mazda "M" on the sides and the old school Mazda script across the top. They charge an additional $35 to do the custom work or if I can get 9 other people they can do the custom work for free. The box sells on eBay for $49.99 with free shipping. Not sure how to coordinate everything if we can get 10 orders total. Would anyone be interested?

I would be! I've been wondering how to mount the Optima in the storage bin and I'd love some custom Mazda CNC work on it - I'm in, just let me know what you need to get the ball rolling

I was thinking about doing this last year actually. But I already have a newer battery that I bought last summer so buying another battery is out of the question right now. I might be number 10 if there is enough interest/backing.
It's a much safer holder than what was stock that's for sure.
