Yes, I have done this. I used some wire mesh that's used for covering roof gutters to keep out (you guessed it) leaves! I then used some double sided tape made by 3M. Can't remember the exact product name, but it's for exterior uses and is quite weather proof. I cut and formed the mesh to the vent areas in the plastic cowl piece and used the tape to stick on. Looks cheap from undernath, but seems to work and is not really noticeable unless the hood is open.
I have heard that later cowl pieces had smaller holes in teh vent areas to prevent this problem, so you could go that route too, but they cost about $200, I believe.
