Custom Keycaps

So I have had my eye on, and finally will have in my hands, a CMstorm Quickfire TK, one of the coveted brown switches ones. I have searched for one since Linus did the expose on the one with blue switches a while back and have FINALLY found one on their website. It comes in a white body and LEDs with black keys.  Now while that is all fine and honestly looks beautiful in my opinion, I'm a bit of an elitist and like to have either blank or Korean language keys for my keyboard. My latest was a das ultimate which I replaced what should have been the lettering with etteched in custom Korean keys from WASD keyboards. I enjoy watching people squirm as they try and use it B)  muwahahaha. My question however is how would I go about replacing the keys on the Quickfire TK with such custom key caps which would still be able to make use of the backlight? What materials would be best and could you suggest an actual seller? Am I just simply too insane and am better off trying to mod something for myself? Thanks for any suggestions in advance ;)~

you might have some problems with the TK, as some of its keys are not standard size(CTRL, windows, Alt, AltGR, Space and FN and also the 0 and 00 on the numpad ;)
