Default Engine bay dress up cover?

Does anyone make an aluminum or fiberglass or carbon fiber plate that covers up the bumper support and washer fluid bottle and etc? I hate how horrible that open area looks with the hood open and my cars going to be attending ALOT of shows, so id like to know if anyone makes one before i go making my own.

Fast Toys makes the JAAM kit that does what your looking for. Just get the lower portion instead of the whole kit and paint it. It wont be as spiffy as FamousZ's set up but it does look real nice.

I know the thread is older, but I wanted to know if there was any other info on the front cover. I would like to have something covering the ugly washer bottle.
