Default Custom molding/casting in plastic

Does anyone work or know anyone who does plastic molds? I'm looking to remake an interior car piece in my style but I need it molded and fabricated from a design.

Story- I made a custom part for my car here. Then I got dozens and dozens of pm's from people who wanted one. I began to make some for a pretty good profit but it's impossible to source the part I need (steering wheel column cover) to build the gauge pods. So I had an idea to build one and have it made into a cast and get it fabricated in plastic. I'd like to get 25-50 units to start. I researched a few places online but they are big and could be very expensive. I'd like somone small or a small business. Any help/ideas would be appreciated.

Sorry I don't know anyone that does that kind of work, but nice job on the one you made.
