Default why can't i find a clear lid to buy?

Well this should be an easy thing for me to figure out but since I can't I guess I'll post it here. Where can I find a clear lid for my 02 Z28? Actually it doesn't HAVE to be a clear one, I just think the clear ones are cool. I understand that a few different companies make them and it seems like it really doesn't matter which one you buy. I've googled it, and looked at some different websites, but I just can't find em! I think a company called MTI makes them? Haven't found one yet though.

Any help would be great...

thanks

A lot of companies that were making lids no longer do. I would check with Fast Toys and see what they have. Theirs are some of the best on the market. I'm not sure if they have clear or not but it is worth a look!

I went through this same thing this summer lol. I bought one and it came came all warped and didn't fit so I sent it back for another. Then the company said that was their last one and they weren't getting any more. Bought another from Afterthoughts auto and a week after I bought it they called and said they were out and forgot to take it off the website. My next stop was through Speed Inc. And they had the one I needed in stock. Worked great.
Hope that helps.

I don't recommend the MTi lid from WS6 store. I got one and had to epoxy it together because it had huge gaps in the molding all the way around. Maybe try finding a used one thats in good shape that you know is good to go.

Slp lids i have to say from my own view are the best. I bought the slp ram air and have no complaints about it. Installation was simple , looks good , and gives a noticeable bit of hp.
