Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients the following.
These new reproduction black air-lid fastener clips are designed for compatible 1998-2002 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models equipped with a factory-style air box and air-filter lid.
The two metal latch clips mount along the front of the air lid and secure it to the lower air-box assembly. Replacing missing, corroded, weakened or damaged clips helps keep the air lid properly seated around the air-filter perimeter.
This listing includes two black-finish clips, providing the quantity required for one compatible air-lid assembly.

Black-Finish Reproduction
The black finish provides a subdued appearance that coordinates with the factory-style air-box assembly. These are newly manufactured reproduction clips and are not original GM or New Old Stock components.
Air-Lid Retention
The clips engage the front edge of the compatible air lid and hold it against the lower air-box assembly. Both clips should engage securely so the lid remains evenly positioned around the air filter.
A loose or improperly seated lid may allow movement, vibration or an incomplete seal around the filter. Inspect the lid, lower housing and clip mounting points for cracks or distortion before installation.
Original-Part Reference
This reproduction pair replaces GM part number 25043286 in the stated Camaro and Firebird air-lid application. The original GM number may also appear in catalogs for other GM vehicles; this listing is specifically presented for compatible 1998-2002 F-Body air-box assemblies.

- Fits compatible factory-style air-box and air-lid assemblies
- Installs at the front air-lid retention points

- Inspect the air-box housing and air lid for damage before installation

Aftermarket air lids and modified intake systems can use different retention arrangements. Confirm compatibility with the installed air box rather than selecting these clips by model year alone.
Installation Information
- Park the vehicle and switch off the engine
- Allow the engine compartment to cool
- Release the existing air-lid clips
- Remove the air lid and inspect the filter and housing
- Compare the reproduction clips with the originals
- Install each clip at its applicable front retention point
- Confirm that each clip pivots and engages correctly
- Reinstall the air lid evenly over the filter
- Latch both clips and verify that the lid remains secure
- Check that the air lid sits evenly around its perimeter
Do not force a clip onto a cracked, distorted or incompatible mounting point. A damaged air lid or lower housing should be repaired or replaced before the vehicle is operated.
