Hey maybe he is located in Los Angeles.. you can see that air..
clear lids are just for show (and performance because its still a lid) but its just so you can see the filter.. or sometimes the throttle blade.. its no different than having a black lid, performance wise.. they just look cool

I picked up a clear lid hoping to put a decent piece of vinyl on it, but the lid is now cracked.

I clean it every oil change though.
A clear lid is more for looks than anything else.
If the top part of the filter is that dirty to where you can tell, you probably should have changed it/cleaned it 10-20,000 miles ago.

clear lid is only for looks, dirty part of the filter is on the other side anyways
if you are going to spend 50 bucks on a K&N filter that dosent do anthing but keep you from buying frequent paper filters and look cool, you might as well get a clear lid to show off your frivolous purchase
