Anyone have mods/ideas for a CM Masterbox 3.1?

Hi all. I have a pretty decent build in my Cooler Master Masterbox Lite 3.1 and I like it very much. I would like to mod it a bit to keep noise down, but PLEASE keep in mind my temperatures are FINE. 70C on GPU and 40-53C on CPU under load (game dependent). 

 

I have two Cougar Vortex 120mm fans, one intake, one exhaust. So in the picture there's only one, but there's two now.

I mostly want a way to make that front panel A. more open B. have better airflow, maybe add a mesh filter of some sort and C. Avoid the bulge of front headers if I were to just completely remove the front plastic piece. 

 

Honestly, in the end, I just want it to be more unique.

 

Note:

I don't have easy access to 3D printing, CNC machines, etc., but I do have a plethora of hand tools and saws, dremels, etc.

Some easy mods would be getting sleeved extensions or vinyl decals made for the case. As for the airflow if you want to mod the case you could make a cutout in the front of the case and add some honey comb mesh. Adding some extra fans aren't a bad idea to help with moving more air through the case.
