no need to do anything. i have run with no panel for 2 yrs. rain isn't any issue. the setup is made to allow water in the engine bay. drive and forget about it
btw its not the panel you need but the fan is what you want. next to the fan (pass side) is the snorkel for the airbag which you no longer have

I just wanted to update this thread in case others had the same problem. I had a specialist fabricate panels that allowed water to drip out and ventilation for the engine...here is what it looked like.
Took 2 weeks and cost $668.75. Looks very clean IMO.

hmmm...so how does your car cool down after you stop? Since there is no fan, you will have to rely on radiation alone. I would make sure you always sit with the car running for 60-90 seconds before shutting down (turbo cool down). Also keep an eye on any plastic/rubber components as they will likely deteriorate at an accelerated rate...LOL
