Investment casting is a possibility.
Use the machined prototype as the master and then off you go.
There are many investment casting shops in the US that do everything fro 20pcs to hundreds or thousands.
Investment casting provides a much finer surface finish that requires less cleaning post-casting. You might even get away without having to machine anything - it can be that clean and accurate.
Even zinc castings if you wanted light but strong.

I have an A/T and have been thinking about doing this on my own - but at the right price i'd be up for something like your concept.
