Aluminum Interior Panels

I have a gutted 95 and want to clean up the interior. I plan on making a gauge/switch panel and center consol with some aluminum sheet. Im ganna start from there and then do the door panels and so on. Probably paint or cover the panels in suede when done. So who has interior panels, center consoles, etc made of aluminum???? Id like to see some pics of 93-97 interiors but any pics will help!

Well its too late to turn back now and anything is better than the "theft recovery" look. Besides im not looking for opinions, just pictures and people who have experience. Thanks anyways though.

Wolfe racecraft makes the door panels. I'd like to see other panels myself.
As far as the dash goes, by the time you make brackets to hold it up you may as well stick with the stock one, weight savings will be negligable.
