cross breed slp and stock lid with pics!
i wanted to share this because i know many of you have had problems with cracking lids and the fittment issues they are known for. basicly i used the top of the slp lid and the base of the factory lid and fused them together. with a little finnishing work and a base coat/clear coat paint job this is the final product. if you have experience in plastic repair im sure you could do this too.

Awesome! I'm glad to see someone do this! I've been kicking aorund the idea of trying this since I got my SLP lid, since it fits like crap. I've just been hesitant to cut the lid up and screw it up.
Yours came out super clean looking, very nice!!
Too bad LS1 Motorsports wasn't still around...back in '00 I had one of those lids on my '98, nad I don't remember any fitment issues.

I didn't know the SLP lid was that bad.
I have had their carbon fiber whisper lid on my car since 1999. No problems, seals great, I must have taken it on/off a thousand times over the years. Still going strong after all this time. I didn't know I had a piece of gold in that lid.

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

Even the thin layer of Gorilla tape I have sealing the airbox to my FTRA causes the clips to pop off occasionally.
