A lid is a lid. Get the one you like the most. The clear one gets my vote.

OEM SLP Blackwing is the best.

I have the aftermarket SLP lid. It took a little bit of working
with to get it to fit right. But I think it is well worth $90.

I have a Granatelli. Like has been said, a LID is a LID as long as it seals good. No problems with mine or my old MTI Clear LID.

I vote for the SLP lid. If you can find the stock Blackwing it is the best fitment and quality wise, but the downside is they usually go for about $250-$300 on here and eBay since they aren't made anymore.

That's NOT a Blackwing shown there!
(I voted seeing the text & not the actual photos, ..., & now I feel I got screwed.)


And K&N's not all its cracked up to be, ...

Fast Toys!!! I think when that came out, a lid was no longer just a lid, Its the largest at 85mm it wont be as much of a bottle neck when you upgrade everything else like a 90/90 92/92. I have the black one (they didnt have the clear when I got it) It rubs the hood a little bit on my car but not a big deal.

Unless you have some monster setup with a fast on top of it an SLP lid would probably be fine.

FTP lid is cool (I dont like the clear though) but I personally dont need it.
Ive had 2 SLP lids and they both fit just fine. Ive also had the K&N setup-steer clear of that one.

What else do you have on the car?
