    Has anyone switched out the aFe lid for a plexiglass one? If so, where did you get it made? I don't want some random piece of glass if possible. Would like something that's a perfect fit.

    @Coupe

    What are your thoughts on the soft padding on the underside of the afe stock lid?

    Wtf is it?
    Resonating damper? I know that intake resonates a ton in the cabin unless force fed.

    Sealing property?

    Heat insulation from the factory lid and radiant heat?

    It is a combination of sealing and maybe noise dampening.

    I have an aluminum cover on my truck with nothing else and it works fine.

    For some people, I have added a perimeter gasket around the lid edge.

    I was wondering the same thing. As long as it has nothing to do with the cold air i was just gonna put a piece of rubber around the edge.
