Default Seat track covers? (pic inside)

Anyone come up with a elegant soultion to this unsightly exposed seat track section, with it's high quality rivets. I've added the black Lloyds mats to help make it less noticable. I'm 6'-5" so the seat is always in the most rearward position. I've seen a fanny pack that can mount over the top as well as a fire extinguisher, but would perfer not to have a bulky item mounted there. Any ideas??

Randy,

I took some black touch-up paint and applied it to the heads of the fasteners.

I was thinking of that, but would the paint chip? Though it is touch up paint so just put another coat on...

The touch up paint should work and not chip off. Nothing should come in contact with the rivets.

Mabey a small peice of matching carpet slid into the track, just don't forget to take out when you move the seat.

You should be able to attach a piece of ABS to the plastic that is around the seat using double side tape. Then when you move your seat forward it will move with the seat.

Just an idea
