Default MTI Clear Lid...
Recently received the clear MTI lid i purchased. I haven't put it on yet because it looks kind of cloudy. Did anyone else have any issues like this?

I thought mine was a bit off when I first got it. It looks normal now, so don't worry about how it looks out of the box.

maybe it just needs some brake cleaner on it or something. Nothing that some 1500-2000 grit wont fix though.
