I would be in for a 227 nose piece. Hate the look of the stock one.

Seems like theres a fair amount of interest in a shaved nose piece like my plug which will go with a stock hood. I'm counting 8 spoken for right now. Tom21 or Tomski one of you glass gurus needs to get on it! If you charged $125 ea thats a $1000!

This is a nice piece but its just a splash of the stock piece minus the vents. He already advertized it in THIS thread in post #19. Several people already make a version of these. I think the majority of us are looking for a cut down piece (Post #2) as there currently is NO ONE making this style of nose piece. (Hopefully Tom21 will change this)

24/7 use to make one (Chris Maro's) that started out flush and then slooped up to flush out with the stock hood. Looks like a duckbill almost.

???? Post 8 is a splash also. How is it any different from stock other than the vents have been filled? Same silly looking bump. As I previously stated, several people already make these.

Tom that looks pretty good but I was thinking you could blend it a little better by shaving it down a little more? It looks like you splashed a stocker, but only started to slope the front after the cut out area of the pole. (Pic 2 where I drew the large arrow) If you shaved it down from the very front of the nose to the rear edge where it meets the hood it seems you can follow a continuous contour of the stock hood and blend it to the stock nose contour with no “hump” at all (pic 1) The ski would look much sleeker. Forgive my crappy line art I suck at computers also

Toby IMO these look much better, clearly shaved down a lot from stock. This looks different than Stunts or Tomskis. The "hump" has been removed. Were getting a lot closer to what I originally envisioned at least. Not trying to knit pick, you have a great part, I like it the best of all I've seen so far but I think if the vent indentations were filled and that it was shaved down even more, you could get that continueous blend from hood to nose.
