Firewall plugs

I removed my A/C and blower from under the dash as well as in the engine bay. I've seen some pictures of the nicer setups with greatbig turbos and clean engine bays but also I noticed some plugs for the 3 holes left by removing the AC. They appeared to be rubber but left a nice clean look. I'd like to get some of these, I searched all over home depot (3 hours, mixed responses) and ended up with some electrical gang box covers which actually fit well and will work with some plumbers putty. But still where did you guys get them ?

I thought there were 2 holes that were remnant of the a/c removal.

There are two, one 4cm in diameter and one 3cm in diameter. there is one more that i can only assume is a condensation drain close to the bottom. I think it' s 3cm as well.

no no, that's seperate, i didn't remove the heater core.

There is an actual tube that points straight down and is not connected to anything. I think it really is a condensation drain.
