ProStyle Billet Cowl Induction Trim Plate from Twist Machine.

If, like a lot of people, you run a cowl induction hood without the factory flapper door, Twist offers a great way to finish off the opening. The trim plate fits factory and OE style hoods using the original four mounting holes. Installation does not require hood removal. Price is $55 which includes stainless steel button head hardware.

Would this be a good unit if you have a functional cowl but no flapper? I'm looking to have a functional cowl induction without the expensive equipment.

Yes. So many of us do not use the flapper door which leaves the ugly flange n plain view. Our trim plate finishes off that area leaving a nice radiused inlet for you to look at. And, unlike louvers or grilles, it's designed to NOT restrict airflow at speed and venting at idle.

As the above pictures show, our product does not prevent water from getting in. The product only includes the external billet aluminum trim plate as shown. The only way to prevent water from entering the engine compartment is to seal the entry entirely.

Steve,

Sorry, shipping is extra. Probably about 8 bucks to VA. The part weighs next to nothing but is more than 20" long.

My wife bought one for me for Christmas. Looks good. I have a question, how much of the trim plate can be seen from the passenger compartment. I was thinking of engraving something on the plate, if I can think of something clever. Any ideas??

I am bringing this thread back to the top.

So, my wife says to me, "why does the hood bounce so much in the middle, is something supposed to go in there?"

Guess that question just cost her $72.48, but well spent.

Has everyone seen these? I would say a must do for most of us with non-standard cowl hoods.

As always thanks for the info guys (and hurting my wallet).
