everyone here has pretty much made their own from chrome edging you can find at Autozone or Pep Boys

Those can be found on ebay, they are quite pricey though.

Until an aftermarket product becomes available, that's really the only option if you want trim around the lenses. Here's a picture of my HHR and CJ's HHR with the trim on them. Mine has 1/4" trim and CJ's has 1/8" trim.

Some people have had some issues with the trim coming off, but I've had mine on there for about 5 or 6 months without any problem...and yes...I leaned against the car and the gas door came open.

I like the look of that SoCal Flame decal Deb!

Must be an instant 25hp!

They would have to be milled rather than lathed because of the odd shape of the light. They most definitely would not be cheap to have custom made. If you can find someone real good on a manual mill like a tool maker you might be able to work something out fairly reasonable. If they have to be CNC'd no way. There is not only the cost of the machine time and material but engineering, progamming, set up, tooling, and plating to take into account. Trust me I work in a machine shop.
