Think its a cool idea to get one?

 

Wow, that's pretty niffty. How much does something like that run?

 

wow thats so kool!!!!! but chrome still looke better in my taste. but still that clear one is really kool! fist time i ever seen one before.

 

Wouldn't you lose a lot of strength by putting a flimsy piece of plastic on your rear end like that.

 

exactly what i was thinking. i would buy this it looks cool but not if it's gonna blow out in time.

 

i did a google search and people have said that its supposed to be stronger then stock.... its made out of some prograde stuff that they use for bullet proof glass...

its in summit the company i believe is called Clear Cover...

 

a flimsy piece of plastic isn't any worse than a stamped steel cover. The covers are normally not a stressed member. Now paint all the gears different colors and put some neon inside!

I just threw up on myself

 

The covers are a stressed member or else they would not sell reinforced covers for these rear ends. If you read the tech article on building a better 10-bolt one of the things is a reinforced cover.

 

mainly for the bearing cap supports

 

its in summit for 139.95 part number is TRD-8402

 

that is pretty slick.

how about some clear hoods, doors, and lets use metal for the windows j/k

a clear tranny pan might be cool also

 

nah, youd just get to look at a transmission filter.

 

NOW i think a clear oil pan would be awesome seeing the motor at 4g RPM

 

what about head disapation, i can't imagine a plastic of anysort would be good for disapating heat. maybe if my car was a show car... i'll stick with an alum. gridle though.

 

Im all for a clear tranny pan..... JUST AS LONG AS IT HAS A DRAIN PLUG!!!!

 

The stock cover is not a stressed member. The point is by using the plastic cover in place of the stock cover you are not compromising the strength of the differential. using a reinforced cover is an enhancement, not a requirement.

They make clear valve covers at one time but ran into sealing problems from heat warpage. if the used a metal clamping flange it would have been better.

how about flouresent rocker arms and a black light? then throw a little of that dye they use to find leaks in the oil! We could all eat some acid and watch it all night. We'll see ***.
