Default Plugging AIR hole in SLP lid

With my upcoming header install, I plan on removing the AIR system. Does anyone know of a clean looking plug for the AIR hole in the 2001/2002 SLP lid? I don't really want to bother buying a new lid for this, but I do want a fairly clean look.

SLP will sell you the block off, but they have a minimum order so you have to buy something else.

I have a 2002 SS with the 345HP package, took off the AIR and was looking myself. Called SLP and they said to get a 1 inch auto body plug from a body shop. They wouldn't even sell me one. Kind of makes you wonder why they wouldn't when they use them for some of their other lids.

The best and perfect plug for that lid is to go to the Help section at auto parts store like pepboys or autozone and get a master cylinder gasket for a Chrysler the part number is 42081, it truly fits perfect.

Thanks. I requested a free sample of 9 different sizes, so one should fit. If I don't like the look, I can always buy the gasket!

I'd just sell the lid and pick-up one from a 1998 - 2000 model.

I requested the free sample at the time of my post, and received it today. I won't be getting the headers put on for a month or two, but I'll post up which one fits, and possibly some pics.
