[8D] eric if you want to go with engraving or a ball mill try your local machine or fabrication shop as they may have a cnc machine. i wouldnt count on it being cheap. as an alternative you or a local artist (probably a stained or etched glass artisan) may be able to acid etch a polished set of covers. if its machined try sucking up to a local guy as he may be sympathetic and do it for cheap, the actual milling wont take long its the programming and the cost of the machine that drives the price. maybe if your ride is gonna be in shows etc you might try asking if they would do it as a sponsor in return for some logo or advertising display at shows with you car. you may also try looking online for custom machine places you could send it too. the local trophy shop can probably do engraved lettering if thats what your after. good luck and keep us updated on what you find as there may be others who want to do similar projects kurt
