what you are speaking of is different than what i am talking about. you are stating the obvious. i am referring to the possible need for "clearance" or "permission" from the manufacturer who owns the name/brand which the cars are being sold. to my knowledge, you cannot as a dealer make a deal to modify and market new vehicles from the manufacturer as a different car without their permission. unless you know the answer to that question, what you are saying has no relevance to my concern.
