Since My tray fell off now is a good time to consider relocating the battery. Where did you put it and do you like it there. Would you move it to another location?? My car is not a conocours. Its a daily driver. Any feedback (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Mine is in the upper right corner of rear trunk. Keeps the weight nearly in the stock location. Fits without interfering with the top storage and gives much needed room to work in the engine bay.

I also have spare, jack, jack stands and two tool/parts bags in my rear trunk and can still carry top. A PO had the ECU in there to but I recently moved to cabin firewall. At same time made new hole for battery wiring w/ grommet soe's to not have wires running thru targa top hole(another PO upgrade). Also added battery tray soe's I could get rid of those nasty bungy cords..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Had thought about moving battery back in engine bay but really like the extra work room.
