I use to have a chrome diff cover, but now it's starting to get surface rust somehow. So, now I'm looking into a new cover that'll be able to with stand weathering (so no chrome). I'm looking into the aluminum craddle type (like Ford Racing and Summits/Trick Flows) or the ClearGearz Diff covers. I like the aluminum for it's strangth, but I like the cleargearz for it's rareity and cool looking. I do, however, would like to see some diff covers for the 8.8" that are bigger and hold more fluid and are finned for cooling. The 4.56 gears get hot - quickly - so I'd like to keep them cool. I also plan on throwing in some synthetic gear lube (75w-90). Let me know any information on the deep sunk covers -- or what you think the pros and cons are on the aluminum vs. clear covers are! Thanks

Aluminum Cover
Also, I don't do a lot of hardcore off-roading so the clear diff wouldn't be under a lot of punishment (but it is "bullet proof", supposidly).
