Don't know where to buy it, but I have a very stupid idea that may not work. Get a soda can and rip off the top and bottom. Cut through the center and get a flat piece. Design it however you want and cut it with a pair of steel scissors. The color of the soda can also should match your car, that way, it has a some unique"ness" too it!

ah! welding! the strongest way the metal will hold together. Or you can use solder, but it probably won't be strong enough. Super glue will work, but its permanent.
