Anyone on the board have access to a CNC & CNC mini Lath and Plastic?

Ever since I thought of this idea:

It went from me like the gauges, to buying a cluster, now investing time measuring and plotting, to a 3d model.... its itching to get made professionally. I just know if I did this by hand, it wouldnt turn out as nice if I paid someone to machine out the parts for me. Expecially since its something you will look at each and every time you get in the truck. Ive sent out about a dozen emails to various prototypers and its just not in my budget to pay a company to make it for me. The cheapest I found was through a site called alibaba.com and and the best quote was from China.... imagine that... the quote was cnc out of abs plastic and for 3 of these gauge pods (2 similar in size, one about 2x as large) was right at 575 bucks plus shipping... around 50 bucks or so last time I had a prototype sent from China.
There is a lot of talen on the board and Im sure someone here has a CNC mill/router or Harbor Freight mini lathe turned into CNC and would be willing to make a little dough for xmas.
If anyone here can offer assistance I would be thankfull.

Thanks in advance,
Clint
