Thumbs down Front bumper support block off plate?

A long time ago I know something was sold like the dress up late that emblempros sells except it blocked off that whole front area. I have deleted my water bottle in favour of a big trans cooler and large fan so I was wondering if anyone sells the block off "dress up" plate anymore?

The only thing I have seen, was custom made by one guy, and never reproduced or sold.

I made my own, Started out with a paper template and then transferred that to .505 aluminum cut it out and bead rolled it or some strength. It covers that ugly front area nicely. The second picture was during the build so the car was really really dirty after sitting for 8 months lol

Here is one by a member on here, I think his name was Reaper SS... it's for a camaro. He tried getting someone with a Trans Am to test fit, but didn't have anyone local to him to get it working.

If you're looking for the one for the camaro, message me, and I can get you in touch with the guy who made them. I think he has a couple left that he made.

He doesn't want to keep selling them? We could sell for him if he can't get them to the market for some reason... I THINK it's the same guy I talked to on FB awhile back but not sure...

6LE I'll hit you up when I have a product ready to go. I'm a VP at a large company where I'm at and have had zero time. Working 55 - 65 hours a week leaves little room for projects.
