Default Throttle Body Plates - Evil Opti is back!

Hey everyone. Figured we would put these throttle body plates out there again. The Evil Opti was the obvious choice last time around so we were thinking of making some more of them if there is any interest. For those that want the Evil Opti, we will need at least 5 orders to get these made. The sale will go on for the week and we will see what we get. Plates will take two weeks before shipment.

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 will 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 - $35 shipped
LULZ - $20 shipped
FAIL - $20 shipped

We are still working on them as you are well aware. I was a bit distracted by your barbie pink ported LT1 intake to get anything done tonight.....

We will not be changing the design as this time. If we were making a ton more, we could start adding some customization.

This is all we have. We are not making a business out of throttle body plates. The plates that you see were made for a few local friends because we have the means to do so but we don't have any plans to do anything more with them.

Idk, I think its worth the $35. Very clever and it should make for a good conversation piece every time you pop the hood. Should match my Canton valve covers well

OK everyone, seems like we have a lot of interest here so I'm just going to ask for payment on these by the end of the week. Please PM me for the payment info.

If we end up not getting at least 5 of the Evil Opti plates sold then we will simply refund everyone's money immediately by Saturday AM.

As for the price, its a unique design which takes time to produce on our CNC controlled mill. The plates will be shipped via USPS priority mail so you will get these quickly.
