Had some perforated 1/8" aluminum, hammer formed some speaker grills for the rear:

I was surprised how easily it shrank around the hammer form. You can see some of the holes at the edge changed shape.

Got a support flange behind the console. Getting the rolling, twisting shape close enough really kicked my butt.
