Question Who Makes The BEST Clear Air Lid?

I have an '02 'Hawk with the Blackwing lid, but I have really dressed up the engine bay and have decided that a clear lid would be what I NEED to do next. I know MTI makes one and there is another company too. I would like to know if the fitment is good and how do they hold up over a few year's use? Any feedback is appreciated!!!

MTI makes a good product. It fits well but just be carefull when working under the hood not to scratch the clear lid. I have seen some lids where the owners just didnt care and it can look like **** with alot of scratches. They also have a good turn around value and make the engine bay have a unique look.

Mine fit like ****, but was a factory 2nd.

Nothing some soft tape added to the airlid didn't fix though. I dig the look a lot.
