Wink Fun Twist on Throttle Body Plates

As some of you may know, we offer and sell projector retrofit kits for 4th Gen Firebirds and recently released a 7" Bi-Xenon drop in headlight setup. We utilize a CNC machine to do much of the machine work for these headlights kits and a few of my fellow LT1 buddies were looking for a twist and something special for their throttle body plates.

What you see below is 3 different plates which we made up for fun. We do not take ourselves too seriously so this is why it was done. We have a very limited number of these made up but figured if someone would like them, they are for sale.

The interesting design has been coined the "Evil Opti" which we did special for a good friend of ours. If interested in these, feel free to PM me.

These are known to fit TPIS, BBK, and Edelbrock throttle bodies. These will not fit AS&M or Holley TBs. Please be aware these are sold without hardware or a gasket but those items can be found pretty easily for only a few bucks. All plates are made of 1/8" thick aluminum and can be easily polished.

Evil Opti - $30 shipped
LULZ - $20 shipped
FAIL - $20 shipped

Whoa. Seems like I need to make more of these. All PMs returned. Prob worth mentioning these should also fit a stock throttle body since the holes line up identically with the old MBA plates that you have all seen.

Holley and AS&M TBs use a different pattern. It can he done at an extra cost but not everyone has those.
