Default cover for Intake area

I was looking around and could not find a cover to cover the front part of the intake area (like on the A&A SC kits) and i found this on a C6 thread.. is there one of these for a C5 or is that something this person made? It Cleans up the engine bay alot i think
(intake goes under the cover and above the Rad shroud)

Never seen one for a C5. If you find one, or end up fabricating one, let us know. And if you do make one, be sure to take pics and post them up.
