Looking for the name of a part.

I'm trying to figure out where I can find that piece that covers the open area where the hood latch is and where the air filter use to be. I found it once on eBay but didn't write down what they had called it now I cant find it anywhere I tried searching air filter eliminator and many other names. So if you know what its called or even where I can get one it would be greatly appreciated.
