The targeted add on this page was for a $999 Dremel 3D printer on Amazon.

This is exactly what I was going to suggest. Ideally modular or otherwise designed to fit on a wide variety of the conventional, triangular-shaped-base, door-mounted mirrors.

That's the coolest thing ever! You could make all kinds of neat parts. How about ducting from a grille block to radiator? That's a difficult part to make. At least, it is in my head right now, maybe it's not that hard...
