I'd love to get one of those as well, however they're $$$$$. I think the cheapest I can find is 10-12k, so outside my budget.
I'd like to start with a 3D printer, then probably pick up a CNC Plasma table. Beyond that, I'd likely just partner with a local shop for CNC routing/milling, or to take plastic prototypes into metal.
Are the hubcaps chrome-painted plastic, or were they metal?
Cupholders is eventually on my list as well, but a bit further down.
