Windshield Wiper Covers
I was looking under my hood today and decided i don't like the look of having all that open space between the firewall and the windshield, its ugly and hard to keep clean. Plus, i don't have, nor do i have the intention of ever having windshield wipers. Does anyone have a similar cover? I know they make the ones that have the openings for the wiper arms, I don't even need that. Does anyone have anything similar? Anything in chrome? Pictures would be great. If all else fails, I'll fabricate my own.
Maybee the early c3 cars' wiper door wasn't such a horrible idea.

Why not fabricate one from aluminium or stainless? Just make a cardboard template and pop rivet it onto the front of that area (where the ecklers thing also attaches) or use nutplates & screws. Thin sheet is easy to bendm then use a rubber edge trim (or a carefully split rubber hose, cut along length w/ a sharp razor blade) to keep it from rattling against the windshield.
The onlt thing that would be good to keep in mind is that the same area is used to draw in fresh air for the blower.
