I used template provided on this thread as my starting point.
Many different materials have been used by different users, since I was verifying it worked first, I actually used the top off an old sterilite storage bin. Traced it out, used a box cutter new fresh razor blade (only cut myself once!).. cut outside the lines first, then trimmed-fitted as needed. Scuffed up with scrub pad, and sprayed black.
For the covers, I used (much like many others) an IKEA trash bin. Thankfully I have an angle grinder, which made cutting a trimming much-much faster than having to do it with tin snips or wire cutters!
Scuffed and trimmed, painted black, clear coated, hot glued in. Still pretty visible inside, so I put some black screen material behind it. Came out pretty nice!
I'll post some pics tonight if I have a chance.
