3D printers are great, but what you really need is a big CNC mill to make male bucks for grille blocks, wheel skirts and kammbacks. I would scan the car, import a mesh into Alias, build some OEM-quality surfaces (because that is what I do), export to the mill and fiberglass some parts. In fact, if someone had the scanner and mill I'd be willing to work with them from a sculpting standpoint to make this stuff a reality.

I'm sure this will all be feasible and reasonable quality 3D scanners will become affordable within ten years.

I was thinking a servo-aimed paintball gun in the bumper would be a pretty fun addition. Of course, somebody has to 3D print the mounts and brackets!
