Default Clear Air Lid

Are the only companies that sell clear air lids MTI and TSP? Those are the only ones I think I remember reading about on here. I found the clear ones on MTI's webpage for $130 I believe but I can't find TSP's on their webpage.

What companies are there that sell clear air lids?

I love em, and it's only like $30 more for a clear one.

Is that what the MTI ones look like? I thought they were entirely clear, without the LS1 lettering on them.

And I was reading abit of an article in some GM magazine, it's linked off of the MTI webpage, a review of all the air lids. On there it said the MTI lid doesn't come with instructions, is that true?

I had a TSP smoked lid on my 01 Z (see below). I went with just the black TSP for my SS.

Last time I looked TSP was out of the clear and the smoked lids, which is why you can't find it on their site. When I talked to them last, they were expecting more, I just don't know when that is.

We should see some late this week or early next week. The smoke clear is defintely a nice looking lid! Wouldn't mind grabbing one of those for myself when they come in. Give us a call if you would like to place an order!

Thanks!

Brian

I like my Carbon Fiber lid.
I picked it & the new K/N filter up for only $50 from a pal who wrecked his SS before he got to install it.

I like my MTI Clear lid. Kind of a PITA to get it to seat right the first time, but it seals and fits very nice. I just like the looks of it over the TSP for some reason... But I wouldn't mind a CF or smoked either...

YES ! mine to. I think thats the only thing that sucks about the clear
lids, not as strong as the others.
