I made a one piece aluminum firewall cover with 2 layers of insulation behind it and a silicon bead on the top to keep moisture out. I choose a diamond plate pattern because I knew I wouldn't be in there polishing it very often and a smooth finish would probably show more dirt. It's pretty easy to do with the engine out by carefully making a cardboard cutout first...
