I was wondering how the fitment of the clear MTI lid is/was for all of you who have it, i just received mine and am having a hell of a time installing it, I've come to realize that the tabs on the rear of the lid don't seem to line up with the holes there supposed to slide into on the radiator shroud, I'll be calling MTI later but was just curious if this has happened before and if buying the black one would be a better bet, thanks

 

I've heard of a few people having issues with it, mine popped on with out a hint of problematic behavoir.

Oddly, all the problems seem to be with the clear lids, from what i've seen on this site. Mine is over a year old now still looks like new and can take off and pop on in a few seconds.

 

I had issues with my clear lid.
MTI was VERY reluctant to replace it, however they did.
I was told if I didn't like the fit I should have called as soon as I recieved it and they would have replaced it no problem.

Definitely call MTI.

 

Did they replace it with another clear lid that fit or did you opt for the black or carbon fiber one? Thanks for your help I received it friday tried installing on Sunday and i will be calling them within the hour, it's the earliest I could get a hold of them

 

Thanks for your help guys, just got off the phone with Zach from MTI, I'll be sending him it back and receiving a new one from them if that one is indeed defective

 

Jsut put mine in last week. no problems yet

 

^^thats cool, very nice

 

Thanks

 

its problems with installation, not with the lid.

smooth bellows always present a problem. the fitment issues you are dealing with are the same on all lids, some people can get them easily, some people have problems.. push the tabs in the back down first.

 

Ive had my clear lid for about 2 years and no prob with instalation.

 

i had mine for about 3 years and it never fit quite right. i always had a place at the back that would never seal to the filter... i liked the way it looked alot, when it cracked along the back i should have ordered a new one instead of the TSP lid

 

mine went on fine but the top of it rubbed on my aftermarket ws.6 hood

 

Installing was a PITA. That plastic does not want to flex. All you have to do is get it on the MAF, push the tabs down startign from far left moving to the right and slid it in. Man does it really seal to the lower box..

 

mine fits great and im driving around without a hood on to hold it down

 

fitment is quite snug during install/removal, but i would hardly call it a problem. i'm very happy with mine.

 

Looks bad ***!

 

ive had mine for a lil over a year and it requires some force to get it on it actually has a crack on one of the tabs

 

no problems with mine fits in there nice and snug

 

no issues with my clear lid. on and off with np

 

wow thats alot of not fitting...think ill try to steer my buddy away
