They look great!
Your boot plate looks HUGE. I could see you having to trim that bottom edge down due to interference with your skate when you butterfly. Better to be to big than not big enough, however. And I like that you were able to wrap the plate around that inner corner.
You're right that the only wear will be on the nylon cord. I've been using slide plates on sport court with this lace in method on my pads for about 3 years and have never once had to replace the nylon cord. If you're playing on sport court, I don't think that fraying will be an issue. And Minor fraying can always be truncated by with a lighter.
