You are correct! The left headlight in that picture is yellow, the right one is pretty clear which makes the left one look even worse! Check out this thread that I started about them a while back:

The TSP clear lid was my first aftermarket add-on.I added the Holley powershot about a month later. The lid was a tight fit. It took me a little while to get it lined up and fitting correctly. Had to modify the lid a bit when I installed the smooth bellows to get everything to line up.





I too think the epoxy looks crappy but most people do not notice it.

The pictures aren't working, all I can see is an X.

I installed an SLP air lid on my 00 ws6. It was a slightly blemished one that was on sale cheap. It fit awesome and I really like the performance. Coupled with a K&N airfilter and a SLP LM cat-back, the sucker sounds awesome. My wife loves the sound, also. I can't hardly even drive the car anymore, cause she won't move her butt out of the drivers seat. Guess I need to buy another on, so we can have his and hers.

I just got my clear (smoke) lid from TSP and I also agree about the epoxy job. It looks like it should be pretty easy to grind it down and polish it though. I also purchased the Holley air filter and breather. I read somewhere that my car requires this small breather as it is an 02. Can anyone confirm this? My car has been parked and covered since Nov when I purchased it and I have not checked it out myself yet as it has been sooooo cold here.

We have a new run of the smoked & the clear lids getting built soon! The epoxy being yellow after it cures does bother me, but its the only epoxy we've found that holds The good thing is you have to look for it to notice it when its on a car

Jason, how soon do you expect them in?

I want a clear since I had the clear UPD on the truck and it turned heads when the hood was up.

PM me if you can.

Yea I wrote Matt on Ur site about if your going to get more clear lids or not. You just answered my question. But when do you plan to have them ready for sale? But I'd like to replace this stealth airlid kit and get a factory lower airbox radiator cover and get a TSP clear lid.

I just got and installed a CF TSP lid and it fits perfect! Had a CF Whisper lid and it fit like crap Used a little WD 40 around the IAT sensor and it came out easily

BTW your clear lid looks kick a$$

This was brought from the dead

I actually bought another TSP lid for my SS instead of going with the QMP one. I went with black though. I will miss that look that you get when the hood is up...

One of the first mods I did was the TSP lid, in the smoked clear finish. It fit perfect, no flaws, no problems at all. I changed mine in their parking lot, the grommet took maybe a minute to swap out with the entire swap taking maybe a couple of minutes total. Very noticable difference in the car afterwards, worth every penny......

It looks nice. Big difference. But my lid is a Whisper and all the sealing was gone after a month, I had to go over it with sillicon.
