That works, but looks just a little awkward, had the letters been smaller, probably would look much better.

Neat idea, not sure I'm digging it though. Solid inserts look great, but not sure about cutting down on airflow. I agree with the letters possibly being smaller.

Wasn't looking for sympathy lol. I think if the letters were smaller it would of been harder to see. Thanks all for the constructive criticism everyone. Gunna leave it for now but if it doesn't grow on me it can easily be repainted in a heartbeat. Just was bored on a day off and wanted to test somethin. Tired of looking at the same thing. Its stands out and doesn't look like everyone else. but to each his own.

It's not my cup of tea, but I do give you props for doing something different. That's a hard thing to come by recently.

I kind of like it. Maybe a dark grey in color and a bit smaller.
