Default Pics request...

Im interested in buying either an MTI clear lid or thier carbon fiber "look" Lid. I was wondering if anybody had pics of either one and what thier thoughts were on the two. Thanks!

Here is mine. I like my clear lid, it shows through my polished throttle body.

my mti clear lid cracked less than a year after buying and they refused to replace it or even give me a discount or anything. I didnt buy another one. Replaced it with an SLP and no complaints even tho the MTI did look better.

I's not. I's a gray and black checkerboard carbon fiber "look" that's printed on it. I wish I knew that before I bought it. It looks okay thogh, I still like it.

Yeah Id like to see it done before I did it.

Z28dad...I bet that car in your lid restricts a little airflow.

Here is a pic of the TSP smoked lid... not very dark at all.



If you get a clear one you can do a light coat, take a look, and add more as needed.

That lid comes smoked like that from TSP. It's not a spray, the color is built in. If I did spray though it would be on the outside, although it should really matter either way.
