Get some stainless steel or chrome plated pieces fabricated to put over all the bars (both cut and uncut) individually. If done right it could appear to be a custom interior trim. Polished alluminum might also work. If you could incorporate the same material in a couple of other areas, it may add balance to the rest of the interior and hopefully prevent any first impressions of a patch job.
Another thought would be to re-connect the bars and wrap the center section on all of them with leather that would match a leather steering wheel cover.
Last but not least, you could cut the bars out of a parts truck, braze them in position, and fill any voids with bondo or other appropriate filler and paint to match.
