I believe that all the lids are pretty much the same - just go with what you can get cheaper or which style you like better. I went with the SLP lid because I liked the oem plastic kind of look to match the rest of the car, but some like the carbon fiber look or the clear one. All up to you on what you like the best, but most perform the same.

anybody have any opinions on the quality the brand of high flow lid? it would be great to know, they can't be all the exact same, its impossible, one has to be better than the other. One product is always is better, due to a better rap or quality, thanks for your help again

I have the SLP Lid, and I like the finish much better on the SLP lid than the Whisper lid or the Granetelli lid. It is just all a matter of preference.

The SLP lid is good. Good material. I just crashed the front end of my Z, I'll buy another one.

I have the black plastic Whisper lid, which fits great. However, I think the SLP lid's exterior finish is smoother and more OE looking.

MTI carbon fiber lid!!!

I helped a friend install a Whisper lid and the fit was nowhere near as good as my MTI lid, and mine is over three years old.

Peace,
Craig.
