Anyone w/MTI Clear Lid
Anyone w/MTI Clear Lid I just bought the MTI Clear Lid and went to put it on and the openeing that goes over the MAF point down quite far b/c it doesnt slid into the slots on the lower airbox. My question is did you have to cut out an opening on the airbox to get it to fit? I will if i have to.

all i can tell you man is that i went through 2 clear lids both cracked when i went to install them.the look is cool but i couldnt get that **** to fit for nothin i just went with SLP. Hope you have better luck
Mine didn't fit worth a shi$$ either but I managed to massage it in without breaking the tabs off.I ended up notching out the upper radiator hold down so that the slope that it had, could allow the thing to fit under the plastic tabs.Also when all was said and done I drilled 2 small holes in each latch and screwed through them in the closed position just so they wouldn't unlatch because of the pressure of the cruddy fit.I do love the looks though!? 
Traver
Traver I got mine on with some massaging. The only thing that bugs me is that the neck that goes over the maf is too long. It scrunches up the bellow so i couldn't put a smooth bellow on there if i wanted to.
So this lid is just a faulty design all around 
. That sux sorry to hear about everyones troubles with it. Im still keeping it ,lol, but i wanted to see if i was the only one with issues. I bought this one b/c my carbon fiber whisper lid wont stay latched.

Had mine since 2001, tight fit, never cracked. First tab on passenger side popped out a couple of times when I first installed it, just need to loosen up clamps on T-body and MAF and jam in tabs before you clamp the front of lid. No problem since.
well i just put it on ill take a pic tomorow of what i did... gotta get ready for work . I noticed thought that it doeant really even seal all that well either. Kinda defeates the purpose of a clean flow of air, but its noting some insulation wont fix

Im on my second lid as well. The first one spider cracked on both sides coming from the MAF opening...most likely from engine shake and brittle plastic. The fit of both has been challenging. You gotta be very gentle getting it on and off and it will be a tight fit. A cool look, but not quite worth the $140 bucks IMO. In MTI's defense they did replace the first one for free though...
