are you guys putting the lip back all the way. You know the middle part goes inside the lower lip. If you look close you'll see on the SLP lid the middle is set back form the outside corner front edge to the clips. When I was working at newera and worked on a ton of cars every time someone said anything about there SLP lod not fitting tight and the clips not fitting. it was because then didn't have it pushed back all the way, and they were tring to force the clips on with the lip outside the lower airbox. There is one brand filter that is the wrong thickness too. I forgot what it was?

sorry, i don't have pics of the conversion guess i'll have to do one more haha! i used a 3M product called panel bond. total time spent was about 4 hrs and total cost was; one factory lid, one slp lid, one tube 3M adhesive $35, PPG flexable primer/sealer/base/clear about $50
The SLP lid I had on my car fit decent enough, but I didn't like the fact that you could still see some of the Air Filter even after it was clipped in place.
This fabbed up piece looks awesome! As mentioned previously, I would like see the Lid match the Base. But I would prefer to have one in the Matte Finish of the Factory Pieces rather than painted. I'd love to see what the finish piece looks like unpainted.
You should definitely build another one.

Please do! I'd be game to give this a try to have the best fitting lid.
