Default What to do for battery terminals ? Desire something pleasing to the eye.

Can yall recommend something really nice / trick / fancy for a side mount battery. I have a modern GTO LS engine installed in a 69 Firebird and would like to attach the battery, alternator along with a small 16 ga and ground cable with something that is pleasing to the eye. I am not finding anything suitable. What have yall done to address this. The alternator cable is 8ga, as well as the starter (8ga) and the ground also appears to be 8ga plus one small inline fuse wire coming from the alternator. I hate to stack up ring terminals if there is a cleaner solution. Please advise. Thank You.

Definitely search the car audio world, lots of options when it comes to this sort of thing.

i used these platinum finish type terminals to reduce the bling a bit. You can get them gold plated all over if that's your thing.
