    Do the grooves like you did on the front of the box (by the logo)... it’ll be simple but also not plain. While coordinating with what you have already

    Gorgeous work! My 2cents on the flat/plain areas on top of the box, kept them like that. It balances out some of the more intricate character lines and keeps the whole thing from being too busy. Maybe consider upholstering those spots in a factory material found elsewhere in the vehicle to tie it all in. For instance, my vehicle has a really unique woven plastic texture on the a/b/c pillar beauty panels (2015 Focus St)

    I think you should use the foam technique you haven’t used in a while to make a design for the plain area that cascades to the covers of the storage compartments. This way you are not cutting any more mdf and give the box a custom yet standard look if you use carpet to wrap the area. I prefer leather but it’s your design.

    I agree with @VincePhi. The absolute most would be groove lines as in the front face of the box. Too much on the top will make it too busy and take away from what i think would be the focal point.

    For the top panels some routed coves like you have on the face panel with your logo would tie it together IMO. The round of the logo mimics the round of the speaker, then coves to mimic the front coves.

    Great Vid as always. The side panels are a bit plain, but there's an easy way to fix it. Just use a different colour/texture of vinyl or carpet. Adds a nice accent, without having do do any more routing. Keep the sweet vids coming.

    If it were my box, I would leave it as is. It looks great and the flat area contrasts with the shapes making the shapes stand out more. The only change I might make would be to add anchor points for tying down luggage in the plain area.

    I would estimate this to add about 200 pounds to the vehicle. One adult worth of weight. There is a trade off with everything. If you are driving a Prius and trying to set a record for fuel economy then obviously this isn't for you. Saving fuel isn't the goal with this system.
