If you're running mods anyways (I keep a DVD install of X3TC for mods (SRM, CMOD, Improved Races, Terran Revitalization Project, NPC Bailing/Boarding) in addition to the Steam copy (for achievements), you should be running SRM and CMOD.
SRM (Ship Rebalance Mod) has some cockpit mods, with and without HUDs/glass/reflections.
