between these 2 air intake covers? I believe the ones w/ the slots is the original. But what is the other one? I'm looking to put the original back in.

I'm looking hard into my crystal ball to see what the other air filter cover looks like. Can't quite make it out .......

Nothing to scroll to the right on. No pics at all to see.
(what the F.... I can see them now all of a sudden)
I think they are SO big that it takes the data too long to download.

I don't know what the mods are for on three pictures. I know that the OEM/stock cover is the one on the right in the first photo.

I honestly can say I don't know what the changes are for on the one with the velcro, or the one with the pop rivets(?). At first I was thinking some kind of ducted ram air system from the front plate or just a water shield? I just don't know, sorry.

Yea, I can't figure out why the pics are so big. I use to attach pics by browsing files, but the pics would disappear after a few days. Then I made an album in the CP, and insert images, but the pics are gigantic,lol.

There's just 2 gigantic pics,lol. Sorry about that. One of both sides of both covers next to each other. The PO gave me these when I bought the car. Didn't think anything of it until now, because I'm looking to put the original back in. I'm puzzled as what the other one was. Aftermarket?

The '93 LT1 C4 I used to have, had one that looked exactly like the one on the left with the plastic thing on top. So that one is probably from an LT1 car.

The one on the right looks like the one I have on my '90 ZR-1, except minus that weird shroud thing mounted on top. I've never seen that before. Mine is just the bottom main part with the many small vent slots with nothing mounted on top of it.

Thanks for clarifying. I wonder if anyone would buy the LT-1 one. I believe the shroud is to keep water from the road getting into the filter, but I'm not positive. Even if it is, was that a factory option or aftermaket option?
