Already checked the fitment quality and everything is looking great. As for gains, I've gotten a really good feeback/response as far as that matters, but I'd rather show proof of it when its ready.
Here's a link to the other ones I've made for my car and the 350Z, if you want to check to quality of my work.
Here's a dyno sheet, with my car running on a dirty maf:
And here's the one I made for the scion, which has not yet been sent out for anodizing.
Sorry Picture will be available tonite.
btw, these will come with all the necessary hardware, 3 bolts and two oring gasket.

Well, the one I made for he XA,XB are waiting to be ship to one of your forum members, so that they do the dyno for us. And we are still in the process of completing one for the TC. So results for the scion will be held back for another saturday since this saturday was spent working on our 350z spacer.
I am looking 75.00 shipped for the spacer when everything clears.

With my AEM intake, I'd have to do some modifications to make everything fit properly.

i've got one ........seems like it does some good.
i don't have access to any kind of dyno but my box does seem a bit more peppy.
you can find them on ebay for about $ 30.00
only thing is the ones i've seen there aren't exactly like the first ones that were on there.......no swirls on the ones there now.........i got the one just like in the picture with the swirls.

Define work. 
Work as in... Makes money for the manufacturer?
Or work as in... Increases performance and/or efficiency on a given engine?
This really has to be checked on an engine by engine basis. Some engines see improvements with throttle body spacers, some don't. Until I see some sort of empirical evidence that there is a benefit to the spacers on the 1NZ-FE (in an xA or xB), I'm not willing to drop the coin. $75 for a chunk of aluminum that may, or may not have a benefit is a little steep.

There is a LONG thread on another site abou these, yes, some one makes them. but all everyone did was say it did/didnt work. The ones that had it installed claimed better throttle response and that was about it. No dyno pulls were done, but people were trying to do it, but for some reason gave up. So im guessing they really didnt do much.
