Upgrading the rear end (4:10s) and was looking to see if anybody had a used differential cover that they may part with. Other then the stock. Thanks.

Careful with that. If I recall those rub the rear sway bar so I've read.

I wouldn't use the finned cover.

I'd get one of these with the bearing supports.

I just look an angle grinder with a wire wheel to a stock one I had & shot it with some Rustoleum Aluminum paint. It still looks great after living under the car.

those are not hack jobs..that is additional material in the cover to provide support for the bearing area. they all pretty much look like that if you want bearing support or spend some $ and buy a nicer one, but cheap and functional don't go hand in hand

I completely understand what the function is all I was saying is it looks like my son cut it with the band saw that's it no more

These so called girdle covers with the bearing support is the most overrated part there is , i have yet to see a single bearing cap failure on an 8.8 , or any other rear end for that matter , they do look nice though.
 
then get out the die grinder and file and make it look how you like and paint it. How many times do you actually see the diff cover on a marauder? It could be blazin pink rabbit smiley's painted on it and no one would see it.
 
I just did my rear suspension. Last Monday. CHE PREFORMANCE Upper and Lower control arms. CHE PREFORMANCE Watts links arms. And I bought a silver 8.8 cover off Ebay. $89.99 with shipping cost me $109. I added Royal Purple fluids and rearend additive. Also found out. The original owner. Has put a Addco rear Sway bar in my car. I was going to buy it. Glad I didn't. So I ordered the Front Addco sway bar. Today get next week. I am posting a couple other pictures.
