Anybody got any pics of a clear air lid installed? I want to buy one but i'm not sure if I want the clear or not. So if you got some pics of it post them up. Thanks

Default Here's mine.

They scratch easily. If you work under the hood remove the lid first, and only use a microfiber towel on it. I've had mine for a year now and it looks new.

Thanks. It's easy to keep clean, just don't drive it in the rain. I swear on my life I haven't even touched it in 8 months.

from the IAT hole all the way to the MAF clamp and down...

For some reason the damn lid never sit correctly, the hold down pins always open up... i guess it placed to much stress on the weak plastic..

Sounds like you might have tightened the clamp too tight.
