Default battery relocating behind bumper?

anybody manage to fit a full size battery under the passenger headlight behind the bumper with fog lights on an rsx? looks like it's gonna be a tight fit. really trying to avoid moving it to the trunk and do not want a half size battery like odyssey.

I also have an 05-06 with no issues. But again made my own battery tray


But truthfully this season I'm going to put my battery in the trunk. Having it in the bumper was a HUGE pain in my ***.

I'll probably end up ditching the fogs anyway and running remote terminals and a kill switch in the bay.
