which universal coolant overflow tank?
I want to get rid of the large and unsightly stock coolant overflow tank and I would like to put one of those aluminum universal ones tucked away somewhere. Anyone have any good installs they have seen or done? Looking for ideas.

The 4th gen tanks are practically invisible aside from the fill. Might want to look into one of those

Fabbed Aluminum tank from Amazon. It had an extra tab so I added a third hole and nutserts.
