That way you could recover some of your costs.

That's just the thing, I don't have a mold. Making the part from scratch took almost a year and several thousand in time and materials.
Making a mold will cost several more thousand, and then each piece will be expensive to duplicate out of it. Even if I made the mold and leased it out for $1000 per person/use, it would take me at least 10 people to break even...
IF the mold didn't need to be shipped, or ever got damaged.
...and that's for the race version part with no access to the rear.
