Default Rear diff cover question

I was looking at getting a rear did cover so I don't have to pull it every time I give it some new oil. Also I was wondering if it will add a little strength? Most of them look the same but is there a brand I should go with?

I think it comes down to whether you want one made in USA (LPW, TA Perf or Moser) or the others that are imported.

Yes, and IF they even still offer one, the Mac cover (which I have) is probably made in the same U.S. factory as the above, and the Summit, and Trick Flows as well.

I've had TA covers on 2 different F-bodies, nice way to add a little under car bling.
