Wiper delete cover

Anyone know if such a piece exists? Im going wiper delete with my car and wanted to know if a company made a wiper delete cover to sit between the windshield and hood?

I remember a guy with a bluish w/white stripes camaro with such a cover. I think he made the thing from scratch tho... Anyways, if anyone has more info please feel free to share your knowledge. Im gonna build one myself in the worst case scenario.

Probably not a good question to ask, you'd be better off figuring out how much it costs, factor in what you want to make, then ask if that's acceptable. Otherwise everyone's going to think $20 for a piece of aluminum is fair.

I dont want in polished aluminum. It would look waaayy too tacky. I want one in fiberglass or steel, that Id paint body color. I dont think it would be hard to make. Im intersted in your offer tho Firebirdjosh, keep us posted with ideas and price when youre ready.

if you are going to paint the metal to match your car then why does it matter if it is aluminum.

Here is a couple pics of things I create and sell to get you an idea.

That holds 2 2 1/16" gauges

Aluminum Radiator Cover

So thats two people interested? I will only use aluminum. It is easier on the tools I have and it is readily available at my home. If you do not want it polished than fine by me. I am thinking that it will be about $40.00 for the pair
My time is very valuable.
Thanks guys

I talked to a friend last night who works with composite materials, hell he even worked with Paul Deutchmen on the bodypanels for the Callaway C12. He said that he will make a mold outta my car for the cover. Ill make him build the piece, and show you guys the results in a couple of days. In about 2 weeks I should have a base mold to show you guys. Its gonna be made of fiberglass.
