Default why??

the 8.5 year plastic looks like splattered fvck. None of the plastic on these cars seems to last.
I'll probably guess wander over to a domestic performance shop and be able to buy something off the shelf.

methinks a billet coolant reservoir would work pretty well...

if you get one which will hold higher capacity, the fluid temps will be lower
