You could always just order some artwork from GameOnGrafix or whomever, and cover up the top of the tankstick too.

Additionally, you could search the forum to see if others have come up with artwork to cover that ugly X.  There's probably someone that's asked or done it before.

Here's one thread...though I didn't read the entire thing.

BobA:
You could cover the top of the CP with adhesive vinyl.

I understand what you are asking, as right now you probably do not have the ability to drill and mortise a trackball opening and/or joystick openings and button holes. So you want an "easy out" and just slap the x-arcade on a finished cabinet. Many of us, including myself, started off with x-arcade stuff and usually "move up" to the ipac, keywiz and other parts.
The only cabinet I can think of that might work with the tankstick is a big Midway MK type cabinet, remove the cp and install your tankstick. If you look around, you will see many examples of attempts to make something like this look good and it has a limit. It will only look "so good" and never be as nice if you figured out a way to transfer the guts to the cp already on a game but like I said, not everyone has the cababilities to do all kinds of arcade stuff when you first start out. Good luck!

Thank you so much people!
 I have a place to start and can start searching. I defiantly do not have the time or knowledge to transplant controls and i don't really care if it doesn't look perfect. Gonna paint the cab black, get some decals and call it day. Right now it's sitting on a nightstand and the monitor is on a dresser. Anything is better than that. So i really only care about the FUN and playing it.
