Thanks everyone

As stated, I think that you could pop rivet in an aluminum plate in the shape of the heater cover where it belongs. Hang a few wires off the upper firewall. Paint it in OEM semi-gloss and you should be fine. I tried leaving the wiper hole open and it didn't fly. Of course this was when they had real tech in the lanes. You could make a patch and just keep it with you. Leave it open , as a distraction. ;-)
A BBC will hide a bunch too, if that's what you're planning.
What combo are you thinking of?
