glass block shower wall

I had a free standing glass block shower wall installed using a block pattern that does not come with end cap blocks. Currently it has the very un-attractive PVC frame. What are my options for hiding this to enhance the beauty of the glass blocks? There does not seem to be any options with the manufacturer. Would you suggest having an aluminum frame manufactured? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I saw a nice solution using corian cut and adhered along the exposed edges of a glass shower enclosure. This is probaby not an inexpensive solution but it had a very attractive look and would match the durability of the glass block.

why not just mortar and tile the ends of the glass block to match your bathroom?
