Default Engine Hatch Mirror - Design

I'm planning to install an acrylic mirror on the underside of my engine hatch and I would like to have a design etched into the mirror. I have seen this done but I cannot find a source for etching. Does anyone know of a source that can etch?

Couple different ways of doing it......you can get your design made up in a vinyl sheet and make sure they give you the negative part of it...so the part you want etched will be exposed....then you can either take it to a place that does sand blasting or get the etching material they use for etching vin numbers onto car glass and do it your self....or if you can find an art type place that does it all even better

Or you can use a frosted clear vinyl which when applied, gives an etched effect.
