Fly reel seat in gold with trim ring for fighting butt.

I'm buiding a 9'6", 6 weight Winston B-IIIX for a customer, and he wants it flashy. Gold snake guides, rasta (red, gold, green) themed thread wraps, weaves, the whole nine yards.

I've been having trouble finding a high quality gold reel seat (preferably with a wood insert) that has a matching trim ring for the fighting butt. I've been looking at the Lemke seats, and was thinking about asking if they'd special make me a trim ring for their LC1, but I thought I'd ask here first to see if anyone has any ideas where I can find one.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Dave

Just an idea, how about a goldleafed or dye-lacquered goldleaf matagi components? That would certainly up the bling factor.

They can come with a trim ring or a plug.
