Default AIR Block Off Plate Material?

I am planning on taking all the AIR crap out of my car over Thanksgiving break but I dont have time to order the actual plates from a sponsor. I will have a lot of tools at my disposure but I just need to know what I should make them out of...also should I use gasket maker to seal them? Thanks in advance!

We have a billet aluminum peice for sale, it has "EPP" engraved into them. Call or Pm me for pricing.

If doing it your self, i have seen people use steel or 1/8th aluminum stock and just cut it to the shape of the air tube. Use a copper silicone gasket maker on it if you dont have a new gasket.

I used an 1/8" x 1" piece of aluminum bar stock. Took 5 minutes to make.
