Have no clue how long it would STAY clear, but it's pretty neat.
Mount a small remote camera to the rear to monitor and have it save the video to your laptop. Later you can review it.quote:

These diff covers are stronger than the steel ones they replace. At PS Headquarters they have one for demonstration purposes along with a 2.5 lb mini sledgehammer. The owner told me to hit it as hard as I could but I was reluctant as I did not want to break it. He came out from behind the counter and proceeded to pound on it as hard as he could. This was a guy about 6'2" and 250 lbs. Didn't even leave a mark. That is the strongest plastic I have ever seen. Makes the steel cover look wimpy by comparison.quote:

Joe realizes that he just cooked his new 4.56 gears and Detroit Locker. Joe now hates plastic.
Serious rock crawlers use a skid plate front and rear anyway. Tires go over the rocks not diffs. You don't use your diff as a sled to help get over obsticals unless you are using a skid plate.quote:

either 4wheel and off-road or fourwheeler tested a bunch of diff covers. the clear one was one of the first to fail. think about this; your diff is stuck on a rock, you are spinning the rear tires fairly fast when you become unstuck and your diff slides over the rock and down on the diff cover bending the cover enough that it contacts the gear teeth as they rip a hole in the cover. dynatrac's cast iron cover and molten images cast stainless were the strongest, they couldn't destroy them. of course if you have a mud or show truck rockcrawling durability is not a factor.
No. Polycarbonatequote:

Yes, please put me down for a clear plastic valve/cam cover. The one on my Nissan 2.5L is plastic ... but only a black resin.
