Just installed my new rear end cover and rock gaurd. The clear cover is a bullet proof polymer, the same as bullet proof windows. The rock gaurd must way 15 pounds and feels like it could take a beating...............Pat

Very cool looking and I'm sure its beefy.....wonder if the plastic would hold heat in better though?

The cover is in the Jegs catalouge for $130.00 I think it was and the rock gaurd was $135.00 from http://www.purplecranium.com/....I haven't seen any moisture build up from heat inside the cover...............

Wonder if that will work better them some of the others I have seen on the market.

I have seen other ones, get cloudy and fog up over extended use from the chemicals and heat along with particles in the fluid as they slush around the inside of the cover.

Very cool looking, hopefully yours holds up better then others I have seen.

My only concern would be loss of heat dissipation. Not sure if that's an issue or not.

Looks pretty cool though! I wonder if it will stay clear. Post pics in a few months :)

I see that thing getting scratched inside with tiny metal shavings and then getting dirty and ugly. I also don't see it removing heat either. Its probably more for show.
