I got a crack on the OEM plastic overflow tank and I wanted to replace it with something more aesthetically pleasing (but FUNCTIONAL). Guys have any suggestions?

Milk jug!

j/k I've seen some black plastic tanks and some "universal" ones in different shapes... try summit racing for something like that

I think the original tank is great, it's molded to fit exactly where it is. So if you are relocating it (and the washer fluid) for some reason, I don't recommend it. Also you do want it transluscent so you can see the level.

Well, its not that I want to replace it just for giggles...my car loses a significant amount of coolant every few days cuz of that crack plus I don't wanna get ripped a new one by the dealership.

Get one from junkyard.
Get a shop to make a alum or SS tank.

I just received mine from eBay (really theres only one dude selling them) and Im impressed, Looks Brand New and OEM, I only paid (with shipping) $37 - everyone at work was asking why did I waste my money when I could have gotten it with my Toyota discount.... mainly the moral of this post is for information purposes - If you work for Toyota, the coolant tank is $67, if your a normal Joe then it's $129!!!! Just order off of eBay - it's worth it, it a clean look is what your going for!

Search...there is already a thread on this...probably a couple, but at least one pretty recently.
