I've seen some use a cd, saw blade, pipe clean out cover etc. I'm just using none, painted the face of the filter black. Looks better than the football anyway!

Paint the cover you have and have it pinstriped or airbrushed with something.

+1. If not overly expensive is one of your goals, then this is a great option, because it's FREE (minus the cost of any tools you might need to acquire in order to accomplish it).

Cheap Harley air cleaner insert. Meant to cover the center of your football. This it minus the football.

I put the Kuryaken Scarab cover on mine. Only about 60 bucks and not everybody is running one.
