I did a homemade radio delete plate out a piece of an old road sign I picked up by the side of the road for free. I cut it to size with a hack saw and a piece of angle as a guide.
I did the rest of the edge finishing with a saw and sandpaper. I did some pseudo engine turning with a 1/4" power drill and some little wads of steel wool. I have a power plug for a GPS and a passenger's side light and switch on it. Total cost about $5.00! Next I'm going to do the inside hood release.
