Default C5 Pass airbag removed - How to fill hole in dash?

So I removed the airbag during the cage install and now I need ideas on how to fill the gaping hole where the passengers airbag was. The dash is still out of the car, but hopefully will be going in very soon.

What did you guys do?

I swear I've read the rules for PT and ST a hundred times and I just don't see where a dash is required. Does anyone know for sure?

Post a question on the NASA forum for the class.
I read thru the rules back in Dec just because and I seem to remember something about a full dash needed.

I thought that was only T1 that required a dash.

I probably still have an aluminum panel that came in my ex T1 car, if so you can have it for the shipping cost, let me know and I will see if I can dig it up in my many many bins of parts

Dash is not required for NASA ST. I don't know if it's required or not for PT.

Mine has the standard cover sitting over the hole but is has fallen in a bit. I am going to stick some velcro in there to support it.

I like having the dash in the car and having the stock look. Removing any more weight, would cause my car to go below 8.7:1 anyway.
