I wish I were better at photoshop. Nothing I tried looked like what I was going for. Meh, I'll build it.......
This looks nothing like I have in my head, but I took so long with it, I'm going to post it anyway.....
Original
I actually want the lower vent (and upper vent) black, but if I made it black you couldn't see it.
meh, this doesn't look anything like I am thinking.....

I wouldn't go so far to call the ac kit "rather fragile' as it actually has been one of the strongest and most durable kits I’ve owned.
Perhaps owning prior to critiquing it would be optimal.

Perhaps not. 88% of owners consider it "fragile" and that's good enough for me.
