SLP was reviewed in GMHTP back in the day to be a top performer for basic bolt-ons.

I've got one for sale.. Check classifieds or PM me. (SLP Lid)

I bought mine here in the classifieds for $62 shipped. They are all pretty much the same, except for the Fast Toys 98mm lid (which is more expensive), so take you pick

Where can you get the AIR grommet for the side on the 98-2000 cars? I got a guy who wants to buy mine and I misplaced the grommet years ago.

If you need a gromment just take the lid to an autoparts store. Im sure they will have one that fits the whole in the lid. Its a basic design so im sure they have one.

I would go with the SLP lid. The quality is very good and I have no fitment issues. You should be able to find a good used one in the classifieds for like $50 bucks or less..Or you can probably get a brand new one for under $100.

I found a grommet at NAPA that fit. It may be a little tight, but it works.
