Hmm..not sure how that would look. I'd just save up for an aftermarket cover.

I agree. Even if you paint it you still won't be able to see it so why waste your time.

If you don't paint it black, you might as well paint it pink.

Unless you add some bordering or detail to an aftermarket piece, I'd go black.

I beat the crap out of my car when I actually drive it. The gears are dead quiet. They are Motive gears... the best IMO. I use Royal Purple oil always.
If you put the girdle and stud kit you should be Ok with the 10 bolt unless you drag race much. -Joshua

Oh yeah, on a stock cover black or nothing!

If anyone wants a new stock cover already painted black, I got one. I am going to go with a new rear (9") instead of fixing my current one, so I have no need for the cover. So if ya want it, PM me.
