Differential Cover Options

Well I am getting ready to changed my differential fluid in my 06 f150. I have noticed that the OEM cover has a health layer of rust on the outside. I was going to change to cover when I change the fluid.

I have been looking for covers but I can only find ones that are over $200 that I like. Does anyone out there have any suggestion or pictures of covers that have used?

Maybe also include a link to a website online that I could pick the cover up at.

Not many options under $200 unfortunately. MAGHYTEC makes a good one.

I remember a few years ago there were some clear ABS plastic covers out there that were kind of cool.

Well thanks for all the input. Since I am cheap and have time on my hands I think I am going to try and paint it myself this weekend. If it turns out good then I will post some pics. If it doesn't turn out good then I think I will be looking in to the Mag Hytech one.
