Well, after listening for a couple weeks now and not having any strange looks or complaints from my fellow workers I decided to make them look a bit better.
I looked into getting some wood veneer and removing the paper and replace with wood veneer but today I thought let me try something else (Suggested by DefectiveAudioComponent above).
I removed the drivers earpieces from their hangers, removed the dynamat and then took off the grills.
I checked under the felt pads and saw their was 1/4 inch bettween the grills and the felt the covers the drivers.
So using the grills as a template I cut the dynamat to 1/16 of th diameter of the outside diameter of the grill.
Then I cut indents where the screw holes were using wire snips.
Then I removed the paper covering the sticky dynamat surface, married the grills to the dynamat and press it tight.
I put it all back together adn I am listening to them now. I am pleased with the sound, happy with the isolation and not upset over the way they looked before (the cardboard look).
Here are some pictures I took along the way, the last pic is the finished product.
Finished! How does it look?
