I have done alot of surfing when I was looking for a lid and I never saw one out there. I went with the carbon fiber look from the WS6 Store. Great guys check them out if you don't find what you are looking for.

Actually, I would think it's due to cost of production.

but soaks it up just as fast and with no airflow to cool it off you could probably fry eggs on it in hot weather

You could make one pretty easily then polish it with some aluminum, a bender, and a welder. Have you seen the MTI clear lids? I have one on mine and it usually gets a few looks from the non LSx crowd.

About the coolest thing I've seen in an LSx engine bay was a clear lid with a halo ring dry shot spraying on a dyno. I'd be tempted to sell my FIPK and go to a clear lid just to set up a purge in there....
