It can be done...Would just take a lot of care and time to set up right in the mold..

i was gonna quote your guys entire convo, but i gave up haha. Basically what was stated, the cost to have different colors of weave and then setting these up for production would probably make the product too expensive for the average owner to want to hop on board. Alliance is trying to keep our cost low while ousting the competition in quality.
i love the color schemes you came up with Mike, but to be honest it probably wont happen
That being said, for the emblem area, maybe we can have that area shaved with no holes or indentations for the logo, and then find and sell with the covers nissan or 'Z' badges that mount with adhesive so you can choose what you want to put there, or even leave it blank! hows that idea sound?
