American car craft makes a few different bolt on, leave on ones. I think rpi and southern car parts have the plastic for shows only covers.

Correct, it is installed using basic hand tools and stays on the car.

It can be in-installed as well.

CF or just custom painted to match Carbon Flash and I would be your second customer, provided we can run the car with it installed. No emblems needed if that helps control the cost.
