I have a 3D printed Tribute badge on the front of my MX. I've painted it black at the chrome spray was a bit crap. You can have 3D prints metal coated which gives the same weather resistance as metal but much lighter (many of the pieces you see on F1 cars are printed and then metal coated).

I had mine made made by some former work colleagues who have a very expensive SLA printer and I think they look pretty good. The skill is creating the 3D file to send to the printer.
