It would be easy to manufacture an after-market face for the empeg - but they would be extremely expensive! It costs tens of thousands of pounds to tool for injection moulding, and machined faces (like the Mark 1) cost a lot to manufacture. Both types then have to be EMC screened with a transparant conductive material (either ITO or embedded mesh) which is also very expensive.

I think it would be sweet if a third party produced alternative faces for the empeg, but I don't see how they would make any money until we've sold a LOT more players.

Note that we will be selling colour change panels for the Mark 2 - the transparant part is a seperate panel which can be replaced in isolation, so they shouldn't be too pricey - hopefully no more expensive than the Mark 1 replacement panels. That doesn't help with your dislike of the styling, but it keeps open that option to match in with the dash if you change car.
