Does the Mag-Hytec Diff. Cover Rust?

For those of you that have the Mag-Hytec rear differential cover, has it rusted at all? I love the look of them on lifted trucks and am thinking about getting one for mine. However, I don't want to spend that much money on a diff. cover if it's going to rust like the stock one. I live in MI and they use quite a bit of road salt around here, but my truck is not my DD.

Just wondering how everyone's Mag-Hytec is holding up. Thanks

Do you have one on your truck? If so, how's the powder coating holding up?

I've had them on my last three trucks both front and rear, they hold up EXCELLENT. Here is a pic of one that was on my dodge for over to years when this picture was taken.

As you can see, lots of stuff rusted and discolored, but the cover looks brand new.

i jack up the rear of my truck on the rear pumpkin, iknow i know, blah blah, but there is no easier way, if i got a mag-hytec aluminium cover, is it still strong enough to jack up with? i use a big block of wood too (of course i then set it on jackstands on the frame)
