This is my first product I'm producing for the community. It's a Carbon Fiber Throttle Body Cover. It's a dress up engine piece that ads no benefit other than to make things look better. I wanted one for myself since these were no longer made and now I'm offering these for you as well. I'll have two versions available. I'll post pictures of the second version tomorrow since I'm test fitting on a 04 but these should work with all years of Nsx's. There will be a new bolt included along with a washer for easy installation, directions just encase, and also for those who have newer year cars will require a spacer to lift the plate up. These parts will be made with epoxy, not vinyl ester, or poly ester resin. They'll also be automotive two part clear coated.

Here is the version 1 test piece. Version 2 will be posted tomorrow night after I get home from work or if I have time in between test fitting and driving to work... Version two will be like version 1 but the front feet will be cut off. I'll be making a new mould shortly to make more than 1 copy at a time.

Along with the first 8 buyers given a slight price reduction anyone who has bought my lamination work in the past is entitled to this price as well at ANY time. I'll be offering this sort of thing as well in my future carbon projects. Thank you everyone for your support thus far.

This is on a 97 Nsx. Some minor adjustments needed but this is basically what it'll look like. PS how come photo edit doesn't work to flip pictures in primes photo editor...

Also I just got to work so I'll upload pictures when I get home, but I'm very happy with the way things look. Having clean cars to take pictures with too makes a huge difference vs mine that's always covered in dust.
 
Tubes are something I could do in the future. Would be a cool project.

As for it fitting a supercharger I'll have to look at one installed. If that area isn't touched then it won't be an issue. I'm not to familiar with what changes are made to the engine bay with comptech.
 
If it is okay, I would like to pose a question.

Anyone interested in asking for a different color? I would request red carbon kevlar if enough people are interested in the color.

I can make it in red Kevlar/carbon if enough interest. Let's say you get 4 people to order and just add $10 extra per order if you get 4 orders.

Also I have pictures of a supercharged car and it'll be a close fit. I may have to ship one out to test fit, regardless I can make a version that will fit. It's just that one main hose that will be close.

Actually, for many of us CTSC guys (I see a couple on this list already) it would be great to have match similarly to the weave on our CT injector rail cover. Those are in CF. I can't find a picture of them atm.

Here are some pics of the Whipple and Autorotor. They seem like they'd work. It depends where you are mounting this cover to. The Autorotor is a little different because we don't use the vacuum hose distribution block.

Ok the autorotor will fit fine. The whipple I'll have to confirm.

Just make a note for those who have superchargers to list if you have whipple or autorotor.

This is just another reason why people should go turbo, haha.

If you want me to match weave direction that's fine too. But judging by the pictures you posted all the weave in those pictures aren't matched.

Can it look like this to match the GruupeM intake?
