GMHTP did a test of a bunch of lids a while back and the Blackwing was one of the top performers. I wouldn't waste money on a different lid. Get a ram air setup and reusable filter instead.

Best fit & finish of any lid out there, & you'll see no noticeable differences from any other.

SLP also offers a Blackwing lid that's slightly different than the OEM Blackwings. I think it looks slightly different in the texture and has SLP in large letters in the center.

That's not the 'Blackwing' tho, ..., That's simply the aftermarket SLP lid.

They don't even list the Donaldson Blackwing lid any more.
Although most of these accessories are related to it, ...

I sold mine and used the money to buy a clear lid. The car's mine forever and I'd rather have a bit more bling.

The Blackwing is the best made lid I've seen though. Expensive. If you bought it from the replacement parts catalogue (if you still can) you'd pay close to $200 for all the clamps ands stuff.
