Through the wall ac units. How to make them look good outside

I have through the wall AC units in an apartment building. I can cover with AC sleeves still they make the place look too cheap.

What is the best way to cover them to make them loom aesthetic?

I once built tiny roofs over mine. It wasn’t perfect but I made them match and it was somewhat good looking. I actually did it because the rain hit them and was loud. They are ugly! There are other options out there - so you could replace if it makes economic sense to do so.

    No good way that I know of. They scream cheap. But if that's what you're renting, why worry about it?

    You bet! I never thought my little custom roof solution would ever be of value to someone!
