Ask carter200 if anyone can do it out of CNC Aluminum Carter is the man

Why not just make a urethane mold and cast them with 2 part plastic. They would then need painted, is all. You could have paint "masks" made on the CNC for painting the different colors.

Is this one of the options?

I will be a customer for the bumper emblem if the price is right....would be interested in black back ground with sliver lettering.

I have a 95 Pace Car with them, I have never looked that close at them. Now I am curious..

I dont know if you mean mine or the aftermarket fairings.The OEM fairings fit like crap,and look crappy as well,thats why I made my own.Mine fit better and are longer and close the gap between the fairing and windshield.Initially I was going to make these and sell them but then I found the mirror placement on each car isnt the same.I made these off the placement of the mirrors on my car,tried them on another car and they hit the WS trim.The stock fairings have a flip on the outside edge,mine flatten out as they meet the edge.
