Hey Willie,
I'm a big advocate of form follows function. Get yourself a finned heatsink and mount it on the front of the panel opposite from the SSR. Then it will do an excellent job of cooling the SSR and look "cool" at the same time. Just remember to orient the fins on the heatsink vertically to get the most out of it. Power amplifiers often have their heatsinks mounted to the outside of the chassis.
