My friend and I made an aluminum dash for his truck...I can't remember how we did it but we made it "turned aluminum" with those little swirls in it. I think we just took a big drill bit and barely touched it over and over. It looked pretty cool and old school.

that would look good but I am trying to go with a more modern look then an old school look. You can use a wire wheel in a drill press or a scotch brite wheel for results like that
