Clear lid melted and warped
This happened during my parade duty with the vert. Weak!
Everything under the hood is stock except for a STB, and this lid that apparently can't take the heat. The metal clips barely hold the lid now.
This is the lid Speed Inc sells.

I have a buddy who's lid did this as well. Lid company will NOT replace it BTW. They apparently know of the issue and discontinued the clear lids because of it.
Moving to external.

That's too bad. I guess that could be why not many people have them.

Man that sucks thank god they were on backorder when I was trying to buy one. I bought a SLP and from what i've read they fit about like the rest of them. You will need some weather stripping to make them seal up good. one brand seems to fit good on one car, but not the next. I would say mine fits decent.

Care to share what they are charging you? I have an idea though........wonder why they would not stand behind an obviously defective product. Did you ask them how many other failures were reported?

$28 less than the listed price. Apparently this was a first. FWIW, air temps that day were low 80s.
I plan to put it through its paces within a year this time--either at the drag strip or if I get suckered into another parade. Or caught in traffic on a hot day...
