The short story: Anyone know where I can find high(er) res Crystal Castles control panel artwork?
The Long version:I'm thinking about redoing my control panel and I'd like to work in some artwork.
The design of my cabinet is a somewhat demoralizing hodgepodge. On the bright side it reminds me and my friends more of an authentic arcade than any other cabinet with a cohesive theme.
The prized artwork is a custom marquee that a friend of mine created for me (Note it says, "Joey's Arcade Cabinet" not "Atari Crystal Castles" as expected):

I'm not even sure I want to continue mimicking Crystal Castles. But I'd like send a high res crystal castles control panel to my artistically inclined friend to get us thinking about ideas.
So far I've found this:
Low Res artwork including control panel(s)High Res flyerHigh Res artwork but no control panelCompany that sells the control panelVector files including speaker overlay (I'm surprised this website isn't listed in the Artwork FAQ sticky.
Obviously I can't just buy the printed control panel, because I need to customize it to support 4 joysticks, among other things. Which means I could use any hi-res Crystal Castles artwork since the control panel may end up being a hodgepodge of Crystal Castle artwork.
Any pointers or suggestions would be appreciated, including ideas for sideart (although as I pointed out, part of me likes that the thing is a frankenbeast so I may not go for a 100% cohesive theme)

P.S. I already submitted my cabinet to CrapMAME. Sadly they're not accepting applications.
