Kick Panel Vent Delete

Morning All,
Anyone know anyone out there that is selling a kick panel vent delete kit? I want to seal up the opening and just put a plastic piece over it.
Thanks for the help.

Why? The original pieces are also designed to deflect water draining from the cowl so it doesn't cascade into the cab.

The opening is for the fresh air intake. The kick panels were designed (as Vile stated) to redirect water away from the cab. If you are going to block it off I would recommend modifying the factory kick panels, or just seal them shut.

I am looking to out vintage air into my truck. I don't see the need for it. The plastic is brittle and blue. I am changing my interior to black. I was thinking if there was a delete kit that could seal the vent and have a nice trim piece to cover it. It would make it fresh.
I'll have to replace everything to keep them. Any recommendations on new kits for both sides to replace? Other then .

If you are going with Vintage Air they include block off plates for the kick panels.
