laser etched center arm rest

I just made my first attempt at laser etching my old armrest...it's not perfect yet, but it will be before I etch my good one. Just looking for opinions or suggestions on this please.
Thanks

Now that, looks good.

On a side note I'm always trying to figure out how much is to much when it comes to emblems. I mean I can already think of a few that are stock in the interior, steering wheel, map pocket on birds, on the dash above the passengers knees, etc then you can add to your headrests, door panels, floor mats, door sills, sun visors, head liner, sub box, heck even your gauge cluster!

Having said all of that, what you've done to your arm rest looks tasteful, and a quality product, just don't over do it or even something that's perfect can look tacky.

Well like I said it looks good. Where did you do it? Is that something you do at work? (you may get some inquiries about more etching from people on here) Make sure you post some pics of the finished product!

That looks pretty damn good, didn't think you could laser etch on vinyl.
