EVA split grip options?

I have a guy that has a lot of G. Loomis rods that he does not like the look of cork. He is wanting me to replace all of them with EVA split grips. He did not like the look of the two piece rear grip that I showed him on one of my rods so I put a one piece fighting butt on and he is picking that up tonight. He said today on the phone that he was looking at one somewere that had a rubber but cap on it so I have some pictures for him to see of what I can do.

My question is this. He is a real attaintion to detail kind of guy and I need some good ideas for something on these rods. I put some colored aluminum winding checks on this one but want some more ideas? He wants something that is new and fresh. Anything goes?

Thanks
Bobby

HEre is somethign which is very easy to do, and stands out and says custom, while not going entirely overboard. MAtch the colors to teh guide wraps, obviously.

Billy's suggestion is a great one and I bet the NERBs can get you the EVA as well.

You may even be able to match the main wrap if it is a different color. It comes in many colors.
