Throttle body Plates?

Does anyone know of anywhere that has custom throttle body plates for the L98, I looked on Hawks, but all they have is Firechickens and GTAs, I was looking for something like "Z-28" or a Bowtie, if there is a site that makes them online for a decent price could someone let me know. It would be much more convenient that hand machining a custom one

Good company to deal with. Here is shot of mine I purchased off ebay. Also came with SS screws (they are behind the business card).

Re: Throttle body Plates?

Another big thumbs up for these guys. I ordered a plate for my TB from NDZ via ebay, didn't realize the Holly TB was different from OE till I got the plate. They custom made the plate for me to fit the Holly TB. The plate made huge difference in appearance under the hood.

They can get you pretty much what ever you want. If you don't see one you like on their site, get a hold of them.

Re: Throttle body Plates?

Bought one from NDZ and installed with the SS screws, here's some pics. Very satisfied with it, looks great on there too.
