Cab Gas tank Covers

I am thinking about how I want to cover my in-cab gas tank because Im going to bucket seats. I have seen people make covers out of sheetmetal and also Ive seen the premade carpet kits. What have you guys done?

Uhhh, I pulled the tank out.

EDIT: Assuming that is not an option, I have seen metal ones that are painted to match. Or, make one out of really thin wood panels and glue carpet to it.

I took a roll of cheap department store automotive carpet, and cut it to proper length, then took the edge and folded it in and run self tapping screws up into the lip of the cab wall over the tank. Then folded the carpet down and it hung right down to the floor. Look sawsome, no screws showin... cost me about 10 bucks.
