Waddaya think?
I'm not sure yet, whether I want to keep the original, or replace it with the shorter one...
The process was quite simple. Used the original screen as a template on top of a 1,5 mm poly-carbonate plastic sheet. I cut out the shape using a Dremel (which is a necessity!) and cut down the screen to the size I wanted.
When that was done, I wet sanded it and painted it black. When the paint was dry, I wet sanded it once more, and rubbed it to get a matte finish.
This kind of plastic is very flexible, and it's perfect for this type of application.
All in all, the end result isn't too bad. I'm just not sure if this ended up being better than having the original screen.
