Chrome Diff covers - what's good? what's on your ride?

I'm looking to put a chrome diff cover on my posi axle before i slide it under this weekend. was checking eBay and summit, ect. - thinking of just going with a Mr. Gasket b/c its fairly inexpensive, comes with gasket, bolts, etc. for around $35. My only concern is fighting leaks...

sooooo, what's a good deal/place to get one of these?

opinions, suggestions, etc. please.

thanks!

If you get a good one leaking shouldn't be a concern. I went with an aluminum one for better cooling....

I bought mine at Parts America. The only problem was that the bolts were too long to fit the housing. I had to use the old rusted bolts. I endedup using the cover bolts on the radiator support. The bolts bolt down the 454 radiator and the grill to the support.

Chrome covers hold more heat in, all they are is for show. You should get a finned polished aluminum cover, they hold more fluid and keep it cool.
