Rear Differential Covers availabe?
Well I was just wondering, do any of the 8.8 rear end covers like saleen or roush, the ones I have seen are for up to the 04's, since this is still an 8.8 on the new mustangs, will these covers bolt up, or do they have a different bolt pattern etc? If anyone has an aftermarket cover or have seen some that are nice please post some pics and links of cool covers, thanks

thanks for the comments. well i havent seen any links or pics of an 05+ cover. I looked on steeda, saleen, roush site. I guess maybe the 04 down will work since it is still 8.8. I guess I have to make some calls when I am ready to do it. Thanks for the info

well i dont see why not, he said it was designed with a panhard bar in mind. So it should work.
"The FRPP axle girdle is the way to go, it's made specific for S197 to clear the panhard bar"

Well I just recieved my girdle,LOL. It looks awesome. Final price shipped with the stud kit total was 214 from johnbleakleyford. You dont have to buy the stud kit, but this makes it functional for what it is designed for. But you can just buy the cover for 160 something if your doing it just for the looks. The stud kit was about 30 bucks alone and all it is, is 4 studs, 4 nuts, and 4 washers, that connect to the girdle from the carrier bearings etc from the rear end. So it is supposed to strengthen it all etc. I will get this on next week. Hope to have some pics not too far off. See ya

Well its at the dealer, getting the stoptech rotors, the 3.73gears, the rear girdle, and of course the frpp front and rear sway bar kit installed. I am going to try and get up there to take some pictures later, as it is snowing around here, so thats probably the only place I can get a clean picture. If I can I will post later today. see ya

Well just got it all installed, looks awesome. I got out too late to take pictures thou. They forgot to recalibrate the speedo with the 3.73 gears, and it sounds a little louder is that normal, if anyone knows, should these gears be louder, like you have bigger tires or something. I will take some pics tommorrow, but everything looks really nice.
