At the least you would have to have a custom molded hi-temp clear (some kind of acrylic??) cover made to replace the standard cover. In addition to the dirt, etc, there is the problem of backdraft exhaust. This type of factory cover is in place in the Ferraris and McLarens my wife and I have driven at the track.

Just checked our photos and the Ferrari 348 actually has a full glass window between the engine and passenger compartments.

someone has made a plexi-glass cover, that might do the trick
