I could....the question is.....can you afford it.
To me, it sounds to be like a $100-$120 Item

I like that idea and I have CF TRD on my without the TRD logo, but I put the rear L emblem on the center of the grill. So the CF on the L is pecfectly match the rest of the grill. Good job.

that small piece of acrylic CF should run about 25~30 dollars if you can find it.
Unless you're charging people about 70 dollars labor, it wouldn't cost so much.

Only other option is making a mold......very pricey...
So lets compare.....
$120 at cost.
or $50 Including the "L" shiznipped

Not really. The difference between ACRYLIC carbon fiber and WET carbon fiber (the real carbon fiber we usually refer to) is that ACRYLIC CF is a very thin piece of CF, which bends with high heat (heat gun is enough), has the real CF 3D texture, but can be cut like vinyl and paper without distorting the fiber weaving. In this case, it can be applied just like what you have done. So basically only the material cost should be included. The labor is exactly the same.
