Default transparent lids...

i know a lid is a lid, and i've looked at the sheets to make sure. however because a lid is alid im going for the "cool factor" and getting a clear lid. I've seen the MTI transparent lid and it looks great, but i've also heard good things about the quality of the TSP lids. just they dont have pics. Id like to know if anyone has one who can tell me if they are quality transparent lids.

thanks for the help, im a newbie but i how you all hate questions about lids this one isn't about which flows best, just which is made of higher quality hopefully itwont **** anyone off.
thanx

Go with the MTI clear lid, TSP's are great but you will notice any difference b/t lids. Me, I have a FIPK and I love it.

my mti lid looks great (or it did until the dealership messed it up ) but it doesnt fit that well. it pops one of the tabs off pretty much as soon as i turn the car on. supposedly the tsp lid fits better than the rest of the lids so i was thinking of swappin to a clear tsp lid for the better fit. btw, once you go clear nothing else looks right under there. its cool to be able to pop the hood and look down and see the throttle body blade and maf and all

I got the MTI clear lid, it fits great, and the look is awesome, I also got a set of SS emblems, and put it on the lid, looks pretty damn good in my opinion...once my USB port gets fixed, ill post some pics

nice engine bay. I was thinking bout red on black but didn't want too much bling factor but that looks hella nice. I'll probably stick to black for stealthy suspension parts though.
