C5 Engine Bay Fender Trim?

I will try to explain this as clear as possible...

Does anyone vendor offer fender trim for the C5 engine bay? Something that you can install using the OEM screws near the rubber trim on each side of the engine bay that extends inside past the fender. I'm looking to run some cables/wires and would like them to be out of sight. I've seen these for the C6 but never for the C5.

Thanks!

Haven't seen anything like that, but perhaps others have.

A few vendors offer something like these that are held in place by Velcro.

That is what I have and have never lost one and look great.

Thanks for your reply. I already have these covers. What I'm looking for is trim that extends the length of each side of the engine bay. I will try to find a picture of a C6 engine bay that shows the pieces I'm looking for.

Edit - I think I found something close. I'm not so much into the bling thing, rather something functional, however I guess I could have these powder coated to tone them down. They appear to extend far enough out to help hide the wiring I'm considering. My initial search came up empty because I was using the wrong term. "Fender Liners" is what they call them.
