Defrost fans

What have you folks done to finish the slots cut in the top canopy skin to give the defrost fans a finished look? On my past RV's I have covered the dash with some vinyl fabric rather than painting it flat black. Was looking for some type of a chrome cover, if I used fabric and cut out the slots.

Beware of anything reflective (chrome) as it will be very evident in your field of view reflecting on the canopy.
 
I painted the glareshield flat black - can't say I find the appearance with the fans installed objectionable. I don't really even notice it.
 
Before I installed my cover of the fans, even the tag/label that is on the fans would reflect big time in my canopy when the light was right. Now the added cover covers the reflection very nicely.
