Abstract: A customized grill lid system, including a grill lid removably coupled to a grill where an inside of the grill lid defining a grilling area below which grill racks are positioned, is described. An example system comprises an aluminum skin having a shape conforming to the grill lid and is shaped to fit over the grill lid, with a printed plastic layer positioned on an exterior of the metal skin that supports customized printing in color. A gasket may be positioned along at least part of an edge of the skin, such that the skin is a distance away from the grill lid so as to create a gap between an exterior of the grill lid and an interior side of the metal skin.
