Default aesthetic metal engine bay piece??

I have been searching all over for info about a certain metal piece I've seen on only a handful of cars...

Its a metal piece that fits in the triangular section right in front of the air lid. It has holes cut out for the hood latch, etc. I think it looks very clean.

Does anyone know if these are custom made or if a company sells them? would love to see some pics if anyone has one.

I think emblempros might have it? If not, I'm sure they could make it!

Yes that's exactly it. Although, I don't want the whole system, just that piece. But thanks for finding it for me! What I really want is a piece like 01badbird made for his engine bay...custom painted fiberglass piece. Looks awesome.

What they have is very close to what I want, but not quite. What I'm going for is more like the JAAM system where it covers that whole section and adds a little functionality to it even. Thanks tho.

That's exactly what I want also but like you I don't want the entire kit. Wonder if you could email them and see if you could just buy that?

You can purchase just the cover. I think they have a drop box selection where you select what you want.

Wow, never seen that before. Nice to see soneone producing something for us t/a owners. Unfortunately, I hate the way that opening looks for the windshield wiper fluid reservoir cap. It's pointless and it adds too much to what would be an otherwise pretty clean piece with only the necessary openings for the latch and all. The cutouts for the latch and the hood release lever also seem to be larger than necessary. Why the L shape for the latch opening? All it is is a straight bar that needs to come through there.

Sure, it's no 01badbird piece, but it's the next best thing for a guy with no fiberglass skils lol. I may consider it. Gonna contact them and see if they can ateast make it without punching out the hole for the cap

I deleted my windshielf fluid reservoir and asked if they could sell me a piece without the cut out for the cap. They said no.
