After seeing some really cool pictures that some folks on here posted, I started looking at replacement options for the expansion/surge tank and ended up with the following:
1. The stock plastic expansion tank looks bad, but is well designed and functions well

2. Replacement options are made from better material (mostly aluminum), but range from about $200-$300, and when you get down to it, they don't add a great deal performance-wise over the stock "grenade"
So, I was wondering if there are any expansion tank COVERS out there. It would seem that a good piece of purpose-fitted aluminum with the right openings and fittings would allow the stock grenade to do it's very important business behind closed doors and cost far less than the replacements that are out there...
Thoughts and info certainly welcome
Edit: Just saw a cover online for $109. Opinion--not much better looking than the grenade. The reason full replacements cost so much is understandable, but I can't figure out why a relatively simple looking cover is over $100...
