Default Wiper cowel plug???

I recently pulled my wipers and motors and now I'm left with two holes in the cowel that I'd like to plug. Does anyone make plugs for these holes or what are you guys doing to cover up the holes?

I made my own filler. I got a piece of painted black aluminum, from home depot I think, cut out pieces a little bigger than the holes, place them "under" the cowl trim and rivet them in place. Piece of cake.
