Attention SLP lid owners! So I got mine in today.. did the hairdryer trick and all and it worked great.. looks good.
So first off im going to address some issues...
1st..The fitment is decent..it seals fairly well..i think it would do better possible on the ws6 lower airbox...
2. Where can I get the grommet for the IAT sensor?.. my stocky is fat and ugly...
3.The appearance is dull.. what kind of paint and prep do I need to do to paint the lid and lower airbox...
4. What is used to fill the giant hole on the left for the 00-02 models?
5.. The BIGGIE...There is a lot of casting crap on the bottom.. its not baby butt smooth
SO PEOPLE WITH A DYNO.. try this if you can!!
This weekend im taking sandpaper,scotchbrite and some plastic polish and im going to smooth the **** outta the underside of the lid..
Im willing to bet that there could be an extra 3-5 hp gain if all the roughness and cast marks were smoothed out...
Feedback anyone??

I dont think your going to get .5 hp if you do that but thats just IMO. But hell its worth a shot do a befor and after dyno and let us know.
you can get grommet at your local hardware store but I'm shure thier is somthing nicer looking.

Mine is smooth but not P&P TB smooth.. I think I can get quite a bit more HP/TQ outta it..
Hairdryer is used to heat it up to make it fit correctly with the maf and the lower airbox..

Every slp lid I have come across seemed to fit perfect, as far as the plastic flashing left over from molding, you can trim it down but for a gain in hp dont expect to see anything
