If you're serious though, I found these guys who sell rubber for casting stuff: http://www.smooth-on.com/

They sent me some samples, and I picked one that I thought would be best for brake hoods, and they also have dyes in all colors. I was all set about a month ago to make Dura Ace/600 AX replicas, but got sidetracked with school. I'll get back to it one of these rainy days.
Yeah, no need to rush into making hoods that could financially support a normal lifestyle.

Aren't the molds the most expensive part?

I have no idea how you make those. Not being a smart axe, for once.
