Neil, I ordered a reversed top battery today. It should be here in a few days. Thanks for the help everyone. I appreciate it. However, did you know if you take a 500E rear bumper off, and then a 300e rear bumper and put them next to each other, the 500E trunk goes down toward the ground more to clear for the battery and the big SL wheel in the trunk. I will make mine look as close as I can to the 500E trunk without cutting.

Thanks,
