Default Sub Box? How To Make Look Good?

Alrightly we made a sub box out of fiberglass and for now we just painted it a flat black. I was curious of what I could do to make this look better.

I heard I should spray the box the same color as my EM1 electron blue?

Or I was thinking to sand it down to make it flatter and then carpet over it.

What do you think I could do to make this look decent?

Sand it down with a DA sander then use a bit of body filler and then wrap it with the same carpet as your trunk liner! good Idea for the box

I like the size of it. I will try to sand it down and then get a carpet to wrap it up with.

first make the box more flat.. then rough it up with so 80grit then mix body filler(with hardener) and resin(with hardener) and paint it on the box... then just sand with 120,220,400 and paint it or sand with 120 and wrap it..
