I can create a design that we all think looks good (
) and get it manufactured over at shapeways.com in metal (or plastic if you prefer).
Cost may be a bit on the high side to do it in metal, see some random example here:
Shapeways | keyfob111
But if you pick plastic you can always just paint it and call it a day..
Any interest in something like this?

OK so this i what i have so far.. (pics coming soon).
It says TURBO (O is the turbo icon).. that is 1 cm wide, sitting on top of a flat plate which will be the lever part of the opener.. on the other side of the flat plate it can say either: MIATA or MX-5... or, if i shrink the font, both.. Ideas?

nice. That's a different technology, probably would be cheaper than the shapeways thing i'm working on..
The difference is that w/shapeways you are actually doing 3d printing, so provided you're a good artist / designer (which i'm not) then you can make practically any shaped objects.

lol ok so that went faster than i thought.
Take a look at that (click the "view in 3d" to get the whole idea), let me know what you think.
At this point anyone can go buy one off of there... If you're really interested in a 'group buy', i can get a few of them and forward them on to you.. The reason is that they charge $25 minimum, and this thing is a little less than that, so you'd be throwing away a few bucks if that was all you bought.
The other thing is, i have no idea if 1) the shape will be an effective bottle opener, and 2) if the metal process used will be strong enough, though others seem to have made bottle openers on that site.

Or.. did you guys want something simpler like this (Let's call this "Design B") 
I can make the lettering raised or cut out.
According to shapeways that's actually cheaper, a little over $10 / unit..
I need feedback guys!
