If so, would you want it to cover just the aluminum shaft or the plastic motor/gear housing as well?

If it covered the motor and gear housing, it would be quite large and potentially look awkward.

We're putting together a mockup of how it would look. I will send it along soon.
At least your giving something a try for us that's all we can ask. I agree that covering the "black box" might be awkward as you stated. Looking forward to seeing the mock up!
