Overflow Tank question

I am changing motors and right now just have an empty engine bay. This has made me realize how nice it looks to have less there! Anyway- I need a new radiator overflow tank and would love to get something other than the stock ugly kind. I see there is a billet overflow tank available for our cars and I'm curious how easy these things are to install and if this is really a good option??? Also- if this is a good option- is there a certain kind that is recommended by chance?

Thanks!

I found this with a search:

https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...t=coolant+tank

from the body and interior board.

I like the idea of the metal tank, but i also like to be able to see how much is in there. I'd add a sight gauge to it.

I was thinking of painting mine. (when I get that far in my engine bay) I was thinking of using that Fusion plastic paint. I would tape off a strip to be clear so I could see the fluid levels.

I would like to have some better looking bottles though.
