Warped COBB intake lid solutions

When I recently bought my FiST, it came with a Cobb intake. The lid is warped which I now know to be a fairly common issue with an earlier production intake. I emailed Cobb support about the issue to see if I could buy the lid buy the lid by itself and I was told I would either have to buy an entire new intake or to see if I could buy one secondhand. I was just wondering if anyone had fabbed a lid out of aluminum or modified a stock lid because I cannot seem to find a lid for these intakes by themselves anywhere and I like the intake but the warped lid just bothers me.

If it was me...Id take a dump in plastic bag and take the intake back out. Put it all together in a the bag and box it up & send it back to COBB. Then I'd buy a st200 intake from Ron at whoosh and not look back. [chair]

That's weird... mine wasn't warped anywhere near that degree, but had a small bit of warp to it. I spoke to Cobb and they said the lid could potentially be purchased for $40. I ended up just using some wider/thicker weather stripping and it worked out great, but it was an option.

How long ago was that? I found some scrap aluminum at work and I think I am just going to end up cutting it into shape to make a new lid.
