Default Looking for Ideas for Clock Delete Hole

Ok Guys and Gals with 55 56's on the Speaker Bezel Clock Delete. I'm trying to come up with ideas for something different to use in this hole. Instead of the plain old BUTTON. The screen is, ok but even that gets old, I don't want a digital clock or billet blank out. Something simple with a small chevy bowtie or something like this. I figured there must a lot of you that have something different there. Besides a clock or button....any suggestions?:

I don't know, but I think bowties all over a car are pretty gawdy. Can you get someone to carve, machine, or engrave something like "210", "265", "283", "327" or similar script on a piece of aluminum, then paint it flat black to match the speaker grille so it's more subtle??

then you could install an aircon system and run the
duct out there to keep the beer chilled
.
Actually I like Chevynut's idea

A agree (again) with Chevynut. Don't get too cutsie... Personally for me.. the stock delete button looks the best if you are not running a (working!) clock.

That is trying to put square block in a round hole.
How about a center cap with an insignia on it? Just a thought.
