Default I just installed my SLP Lid! Here’s my review.

I ordered the lid from the WS6 Store for only $90 shipped!

The only problem I had was getting the Air Silencer off of the MAF housing.
But after about 10 minutes of pulling I finally got it off.
I heard that the rubber grommet and the IAT sensor were really hard to get out of the stock lid.
I just popped the sensor out, and then very easily popped the rubber grommet out too, it was no problem.
The fitment is PERFECT, no rubbing the hood or anything.
The throttle response is A LOT better, and the car accelerates a little stronger.

All in all this is a great/easy mod to do, and I highly recommend getting it as your first bolt-on.

9.5 out of 10

Maybe it is an aftermarket hood? SLP products are the best out there for our cars

because my money is on you having a smooth bellows. the smooth bellows is know to lift the lid up and make the lid rub the hood. if you have the smooth bellows, putting the stock bellows on will probably stop the rubbing.

You are correct. Mine did this also until I looked very close at the smooth bellow, and the clamps were not letting the rubber fit all the way up tight. It also appeared that I needed to cut a hair off the bellow so the clamps would fasten into the slots. So far just refitting the bellow and moving everything back along with redoing the clamps has worked.

Here is the link to the one I bought...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=260057051436

I guess I got lucky and bought mine right before he raised the price. Now all of his lids are $92 shipped!
