Default What's the best looking air filter?

I have a clear lid with a black LS1Tech decal on it and right now I'm using the K&N air filter the previous owner ran on the car. I was wondering if there's a better looking choice to run under a clear lid, or is it pretty much just your standard air filter variants?

Amsoil filter looks nice IMO.

Thanks! I was really getting tired of the red-orange K&N, and I think blue would look better on my car (silver) anyway.

SLP's filter that comes with their lid is a cool blue. Looks good on NBM, Silver, and most other colors.

How do those MTI Clear lids seal for you guys around the perimeter/ maf sensor? I had one but it didnt seal for crap. I switched it out with a week. I cant imagine how much debrit got into the intake. I switch back to the slp lid. I bought the clear lid for show purposes anyway.

Where is the best place to buy for price the clear lid? I loved my old Volant intake I had on my old car, it worked and looked the best to me.

I found mine from someone on here, they pop up from time to time. Mine seals pretty well, I'm going to be doing some modification to it and try and make it perfectly.

First time I bought one it ft horribly Thenotches didn't line up so I grinded them,a dn then the nect was at such a harsh angle it wouldn't sit flat on the lower box. Returned it, gotr another one, it fit like a glove. seals perfectly.
