Re: Custom Throttle Body Plates (Potential GP)
Very interested in the Typhoon wheel center caps. I know you are still working on these to get 'em perfect but do you have an idea of cost for a set? Are these made form scratch and include the rubber ringon the inside? I may be in for one of the personalized ones for the intake too.
TIA

I've been on the road for a few weeks and wanted to see where I stood on the IC cover plate ? Hopefully there is still one waiting for me ( puckered lower lip )lol.

Ok Coolness.............I got the Stainless Steel "Intercooled" throttle plate yesturday !
.........Turned out really nice, no dissapointments here at all,thanks for the efforts !! :tup:
The mill cutter marks are so uniform,almost Damascus like...I don't think I'll paint it red to match the plenum. It looks awesome the way it came.
Thanks again...................Vinny

Re: Custom Throttle Body Plates (Potential GP)
I got my plate the other day and I must say... AWESOME!
I am very pleased with it and can't wait to finish the SY so I can put it on.
It'll be the last part to officially say that it's ready to hit the pavement.
For those of you wondering how it will look colored, I experimented with it a little
and think I will keep it tis way. Turned out pretty good and will match the intake.
What do you guys think?

Sweet ! Did you use Eurothane activated paint or something off the shelf like aerosal ??
I can tell there is quite a difference in the metal color with yours being Aluminum as opposed of mine being SS.
A really cool custom part .Glad I joined in !

Re: Custom Throttle Body Plates (Potential GP)
Actually you'll probably laugh but I used Testors Model Paint. I was experimenting with colors and when I tried to remove the excess from the edges it was stuck on pretty good so I left it. Not sure how long it will last but I think it'll do pretty well. Once I polish my intake and redo the paint on there I'll do the TB plate over again with a 500* ceramic based paint. That's what I used on the accessory brackets for the GT and so far it's holding up perfect.

Looks good, a little distorted but definately a nice touch for TY's.

I should add, it's not mine, this person did this quite a while ago, filled in his lettering, and re-cut it.
I agree, not a perfect replica.
