Re: embossed bowtie sheetmetal
No one has replied so I will take a shot at it. If you have a local custom car shop or fabrication shop they should be able to make a male and female die to put in a press. If you just want one copy it could probably be made out of hard wood. If more I would go with aluminum billet or steel. Then you sandwich the sheet metal between and press it in a regular shop press. I have not done this but I am sure the others who have done similar thing can correct me on any points I have missed. Can't be that hard I would think.

Re: embossed bowtie sheetmetal
You can do as Barnfind46 has said. Or find someone that bead rolls, you can see if they can make a one off for you. Check out Atomic Armadillo Metal Fab, he might be able to make something custom up for you.

Re: embossed bowtie sheetmetal
Another option is license plates. These will be aluminum but you could use 3M 08116 panel adhesive to bond it to the dash...it will never come off.
