Cleargearz CLEAR diff.. cover..
anyone have experience with this cover..
I am either going chrome, or clear... Not sure yet..
But I like the looks of this... The maintenance will be a bitch to keep up.. I think..
but that is why I am looking for anyone with some insight on this diff. cover.

I like the way the cover looks, but I was concerned with the structural integrity of the product.. LOL...
so maybe I will not worry about my rear end cover until I get a new rear end.
thx nine

From what I've read from other people's experience, the dye only lasts a few weeks, if that, before it turns regular old brown. Others have also said it gets dirty and cloudy and then there's no more novelty left. Get a cover with a support girdle for your bearing caps and your 10-bolt will appreciate you more.

Thanks for the input from you guys knowing and hearing of this.
I could totally see this cover fogging up really quick. That is why I was trying to get some input on this.. I knew you would be taking the cracking issue also with replacing a metal cover with a plastic one...
I am looking into the girdle one for the 10 bolt.
not too cheap.

ouch, that does not sound good...
Yeah, you guys have already convinced me to not get it..
Especially when I started thinking of the N2O I run, and how I am going
to be running the hell out of the car next year.. Better off to get somehting that will hold up.

I have them on a show truck, but the rear is spotlessly clean on the inside & it gets used only occasionally. Looks cool, but I would not use it in a performance application.
Besides it will get scratched/broken when your stock rear explodes at the track.
Save all your cover/gear money towards a good rearend... it will be well spent.

the only way i would use that kind of cover is if i had a 100% show car, and it was on a 12 bolt that i sold my kidney to get, and along with showing off the racing stripes on my ring gear
