Looks awesome! It is completely authentic to the original. Very well done. I agree that either a "+" or an "R" or "XL" or "37/40" would be nice options and appropriate.
I am apprehensive about the durability of plastic and I personally will continue to pursue a polished metal plaque. I had imagined something similar to Ken's but as I'm writing this I re-imagined something laser etched. This is a phenomenal start towards either of those goals.
