Nobody does. Don't feel bad. Still my vote goes to SLP (for once).

I just installed one of SLP's new lids on my car last week and it is awesome. Some complained about the older SLP lid having fitment issues, but from what I read they changed the manufacturing process recently. Mine fits awesome, looks good, and was pretty easy to install. I definitely recommend using a hair dryer when it comes time to fit the MAF to it.

Yep. White Z28, white leather, white paper filter.

A lid is a lid. They are all the same.

I just put in my MTI clear lid. MAF went in there no problem. Although it does rub on the black piece underneath the MAF area.... is it alright like that?

I've got that as well... I won't say it's superior HP/TQ wise... but throttle response is MUCH MUCH better with the volant. Too bad it fits like **** outa the box but... in the end I got mine nice...

if I were to go with a lid again, I'd go with the FTRA on... it's the best performing one on the market right now. And the one's I've seen in person seem to fit and look very very nice...

Hey guys, is it worth getting the whole SLP cold air package like the following link? Is it worth the 300 bucks, or just get the lid and rock a cheap paper filter?
