I'm going to experiment with digitally imprinting some of the ultrathin vinyls that can be applied to neoprene and stretch with the cloth. If it doesn't make a huge mess of things, I'll let you know It would be full color, and you wouldn't be able to feel it at all. What kind of graphic are you looking for?

A Jayhawk (The funny looking bird in my signature )

But my budget suddenly got stretched (speeding tickets will do that) so I will have to put this off a while.

I've had my Wet Okole's (silver/black with MINI wings) for almost four years. Still look new!

Flattery sir, simply flattery.
I always credit you when I'm showing them off (see post #12)
Thanks again for the go-by, I love them and get loads of compliments!

NIce looking car you have there.

Yup, I saw my name up there. Hey, doesn't bother me till I see identical ones all over the place locally.

A fellow in DC found me on NAM, and made arrangements to meet me to see my car as he was trying to decide what to order. He called me later and asked if he could 'plagerize' my car,convert S,Chili Red, interior, wet okoles, aerokit etc. I assured him I hadn't designed or created any of those items and as you say I'd consider it flattering that he wanted to copy it.

You know if you copy one person's work it's plagerism, but if you copy two or more peoples work it's research.

I first bought Wet Okoles when I was four wheeling a truck in North GA, (read red clay and mud), and now have them in the MINI, (black/white Hibiscus--wifey's choice), and highly recommend them to everybody who doesn't have leather. ;-)

Help with Wet Okole Headrest Covers...

I just received my Wet Okole seat covers, front and back.

I have a HO Convertible, but I think they sent me the wrong headrest covers for the back seats.

The four headrest covers that I had received are ALL THE SAME. Shouldn't the headrest covers for the back seats be made differently (because of the roll bar etc.?

Thanks in advance...
