If you place an order for a personalized product along with non-custom products, such as arcade part or merchandise, please note that all products will ship together. We ask for a minimum of 7-10 business days to process custom orders and prepare for shipping, as we often have a large queue, and personalized orders require additional processing work. If you desire to receive your non-custom products earlier, then please place two separate orders. This will allow the non-custom orders to ship within our normal 1-2 business days.
The art cover replacement top panel offers one of the best ways to customize your joystick. The plexiglass sits atop specially cut artwork, allowing you to add or replace new custom artwork to match your joystick theme.

RAP4, RAPV Kai, Switch Panel Template Not Japanese import model (1.7Mb zip) |
Hori's models have varied in joystick and button placement. This model adopts the "Kai" layout, which positions the joystick further left from the buttons. The modern Hori RAP series was not designed for custom artwork, so it requires removing the top artwork panel via hair-dryer or heat gun, the glue underneath the panel (what remains on the metal panel) via Goo-Gone or similar. A 1/40" thin acrylic film is utilized for this. Unfortunately, etching cannot be performed on this 1/40" acrylic.
Note: This product is not compatible with the Japanese import RAP V (PS3/PS4). Please choose this model instead. The import RAP V (Xbox One/Xbox 360) model - which has a red panel - is also not compatible. We cannot confirm whether the import PS3/PS4 model will match that model's panel as we do not own that hardware.
Options include Vewlix button layout, choice to remove start button, and middle screw.
The top panel is constructed using resilient clear acrylic, and layout is cut to precision with a laser etching device.
You will receive black panhead screws specifically designed to bore into plastic, to assist with a top-load install. Washers are also included to compensate for the countersink of the original metal panel once the original panel screws are removed from the bottom of the FightStick.
Options |
You have several options to personalize your control panel, such as button layout, removal of control panel or screws in some models, button label etching, and text etching. REMOVING DEFAULT ELEMENTSLayout ConfigurationEach Fightstick has its own characteristics, with some sharing similar elements, such as the popular Vewlix button layout. We will specify what options are available for each Fightstick. Below are the most common button layout configurations: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 8 Button Vewlix
First 6 Buttons
Last 6 Buttons
7 Button Vewlix
Removing Default ElementsSome Fightsticks, such as the popular MadCatz TE, offer additional personalization options by removing default elements such as control panel, start button, or screws. Cut options are defaulted to their authentic counterpart, displayed as [YES (default)] in the options list. For example, a MadCatz TE, the default configuration is to have the turbo/guide portion of the control panel cut, so that the control panel can fit properly. You have the option to select [NO] to prevent cutting these areas. ![]() ![]() ![]() Cut Control Panel? [NO]
Cut Start Button? [NO]
Cut Middle and/or Bottom Screws? [NO]
Cut Control Panel? [NO] - If you own a MadCatz TE, and installed a PS360+, you may no longer need the Turbo/Guide area of the control panel, located at top left. This option allows you to remove the Turbo/Guide portion. Please note that you MUST remove the actual control panel on the TE by unscrewing it before applying the plexi, or you risk damaging the plexi. Also, please make certain to select this option if you are also choosing to have artwork printed, or the plexi and artwork won't match. Cut Start Button? [NO] - On some joysticks - such as the Qanba Q4 - the start button is directly on the panel. You can select to have this removed. You can also select this should you desire a panel similar to the Eightarc Fusion or Synthesis series Fightstick, as the start button is moved elsewhere. Again, this option is available on specific joysticks. Cut Middle and/or Bottom Screws? [NO] - Selecting "no" on this option allows you to remove the middle top and bottom screw holes on specific joysticks, either for a cleaner appearance or to avoid rubbing your wrist against the screw. Please reconsider this option if you intend to have a full panel etch on your plexi, as etching physically changes portions of the plexi due to heat. In this case, it is best to leave the screw holes in place in order to keep the panel securely positioned. |

We all know the Hori can be a minor nuisance with art customization on the RAP 4. With this Plexi it makes easy as sin and stylish to show off your art. Unknown on Nov 3rd 2019
This cover fits over my Hori Rap 4 perfectly, however I was expecting a harder material. The acrylic is thick, but fairly soft, so putting the bolts on too tight bends the edges upwards and, and putting it on too loosely, well, leaves it loose.
Even though I hit pretty good sweet spot on the bolts, you can still see s little indent where they go, and the edges do bend up a little bit. It's not a deal breaker, but a solid piece of plexiglass would be preferable Chuck on Sep 17th 2019
The plexiglass came quick, no scratches, no dents no bends. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Unknown on Aug 28th 2019
I ordered this exact product for my main Rap4 a bit over half a year ago and the quality of the plexi is just as great! The delivery was pretty fast again. (two weeks from U.S. to europe) Great product quality, fast delivery and order processing. Overall really pleased again! Unknown on Jul 22nd 2019
The plexi is well made and it fits really good,no complains at all there, however I don't like the screws too much, they are a bit tall imo, I'd like to have a flat head screws as an option and diferent colors as well. Alexis on May 13th 2019
The shipping was fast (US - Finland). It took about 10days which was way faster than I expected. The product was really well and safely packaged. The quality of the plex was great and it didn't have any scratches and was cut really well. It doesn't have any bulging or bending anywhere as long you don't tighten the screws too tight. I'm really satisfied with this product and service overall. Tuomas on Apr 12th 2019
I'm not sure if it's because I picked matte for my art, but even though the plexi size is perfect, it does bulge up around where the joystick is. Otherwise it's a great product that fits the Hori and matches all cutouts. Raul on Oct 29th 2018
I was looking for a place that could provide this kind of service, My fightstick needed a look rather than just the hori manufacturer look. I provided my own art work and the results were amazing along with the plexi glass it was like a new fightstick thanks guys. Oscar on Oct 1st 2018
It is a great plexi cover for custom artwork. Fits perfectly and comes with the screws you need to hold it down. The RAP V does already have screws installed, however, I found the screws that came with this allowed for a cleaner fit. John Sailors on Aug 13th 2018
You get this for covering the artwork. It's simple and cheaper than the etchings, but it's a high quality product with very clean cuts in the plexi. Don't get a custom artwork without this. The artwork is only paper. Very very nice thick paper, but still paper. You will want this to protect it. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT LAYOUT/VERSION. Just because you got yours in the states does nit mean its a non-import stick. These are non-returnable. Know what you're buying first and foremost. Great product. 10/10. Nate on Jul 24th 2018
