I didn't know Whisper had a rubber fitting, that probably would have swayed my decision a little bit, I just think the SLP logo looks like it's supposed to be there

That's what i had to do with my SLP bellow especially after installing 80mm BBK T/B. No big f'n deal.

Whoever said Whisper fits like **** must not have installed very many of them.
I've owned two myself, both fit 100% perfect on three different cars for 8+ years combined. And I've installed a few others for local guys over the years without issues as well. I actually have a harder time getting the SLP lids to fit right, they usually take some extra work.
If that is true, they will likey be very pricey compared to the current lids on the market. But if they quality is up to OEM standards, it might be worth it.
