Little upgrade to the Stereo

I got bored today and made myself a project. This is my new cover for my amp rack. What do you think. Kinda tuff to see in the lighting. Only took about an hour start to finish. If you look in my signature it cover the large amp in front of my enclosure.

It looks really nice, but I can't tell if there is an indention in the "R" or not. Is there?

Once again, nice job!

No I did'nt put the whole in the R, it would not hold ithe carpet sharply.
Directions since you asked:
I would first like to thank Mazspeed, where I got the basic lettering. I drew the letters out then enlarged them on a copier.
Cut these letters out and trace them on to 1/4" masonite.
Cut out with a jig saw.
Hot glue onto board of choice.
Use lots of 3M 77 adhesive, especialy around the edges.
Spray adhesive on carpet too
Start on top of letters working your way ou.
Use a large flat head screw driver and work the carpet tight against the letters
Take you time
It should only take about an hour if you have any wood working skills.

John
