Engine dress up Power Steering Reservoir

Was curious if anyone has installed an aftermarket Steering Reservoir. I noticed that with the Mishi one it doesn't have a measurment dipstick. Also any harm in doing this? I know its a silly mod but just cleaning things up in the engin ebay. Thoughts?

^^ Whats the link?

ALSO... since we are on this topic.. What or where the hell is everyone getting that cloth/cover to go over their stock reservoir?? I keep seeing this on them and wanted one but not sure where they get it or how high the temp it can handle.

IM pretty sure they came to the conclusion that his kit only works on rs's without the abs.

A) It's not proven at all.
B) There is no provisions for cooling the coolant.
C) There's a better reservoir, which is what I use for my -AN Kits, that are properly cooled.

I wouldn't bother with Mishimoto.

This is what I use, however, there is -AN weld fittings on there, similar to that of a catch can.

Correct, one can only relocate it if the ABS is deleted.
