James,
I think it is a great start and has some real potential. My recommendations are as follows:
1. Reposition the light colored bats so that they are placed in a uniform pattern. Maybe have one on the left side one bat in and one on the right side one bat in. The uniformity would add to it a bit.
2. Use a skill saw or some sort of other power saw to cut the bats all straight, and at the same length, along the bottom.
3. Build a frame around the bats running around all four sides and paint it either black or the color of the seat--black to match the bats would probably be easier than trying to match the seat color. I think that would lead to a more polished look.
Whatever you ultimately do, it's a cool project.
