Post Making your own Throttle Body Plate

Anyone ever try it. Cant be to hard really. I think Im gonna give it a shot soon. Either make my own or spray paint the one there and put some z28 Decals on it. Just a little idea to fix up the engine bay.

Paint on and put decals on it, or put the decals on it...paint it and peal the decals off, like a stensil. I cut into mine with a dremel tool and it looked like ***....so I had to buy on from MBA. Good luck with it.

I think I will paint it full black. Put on the z28 decals. Paint it red then peel the decals off so its red with black lettering. I would let it sit long enough and that would look more profesional than haveing stickers. Ill give it a shot it can always be sanded down or an excuse to buy a new one

I ended up doing it. Came out really good I think. I ended up doing it Red with Black Z28. I thought about LT1 but we were kinda missing the 1 lol. I ended up doing Z28 for now but I might go back and change it later. Its an easy fix. I just dont see why z28 should be there when its an LT1 engine. Tomarrow Im going to the track though so I wanted it to be done. Im not about to spend 50 bucks for a store bought one either. Mine came out good enough for me. Ill have some pics up soon for you guys.
