Default New Riddler Diff Covers

These covers have been great. I have already beaten them both on the trail and they have worked great. They were painted with Hammer Head gray paint and then hand painted logo and skull by my buddy Rick who custom builds slot cars etc with major detail so he had right skills to do this. If I did it what a mess it would have been.

Wanted to make sure he got the street cred for the detail work even though he drives a TJ.

I bought grade 8 bolts for mounting instead of using the supplied ones.

Front installed:

Good call on the covers, they look great! Do you have a problem with the sway bar hitting the top during full articulation?

Here is mine:

Nice

No issues with the sway bar it's just the rocks leaving marks.

Those are nice covers. Had to do over again, those are the ones I'd select rather than my SOLIDs. Smart move, replacing the bolts in favor of Grade-8s.
