Default Throttle body cover plates, special engraving?

Anyplace offer L98 throttle body cover plates engraved to your specifications?

Or does anyone sell blank cover plates, that I can get engraved locally?

By the way, anyplace to buy the gasket by itself? Gm wants to sell a gasket kit.

Do you need a gasket if you do the thottle body bypass?

When I bought my TB cover from ZIP, it was just a 1/16" - 1/8" thick plate with 6 holes drilled on the mounting bolt locations and L-98 250HP engraved into it. The gasket was just a sheet or rubber with the same 6 holes drilled through it. You can prob have a local matel shop custom made you one for not a whole lot of $$$.

I'd like to replace the original, but I don't see it offered in all the 'catalogs'.

Nice :thumbs:
I'm sure it would be simple to make your own and have it engraved as above.
G.M. canada wanted $23 for TB gasket set and it didn't include the TB to plenum gasket. Needless to say I cut my own for about 50 cents :D

Yes there is. http://www.polishinginc.com
Ask for Michael. He can engrave anything you want and polish it up. His TB plates have 4 screw holes instead of 6. He charges $50 a peice.

Do you need a gasket if you do the thottle body bypass?
No. All you need is a longer hose with a 90degree bend on one end of it to go form the front intake manifold outlet below the Throttle Body to the Heater core coolant line on the Passanger's side.
