Okay folks,
Just called Cascade vans and interiors. They seem like a friendly enough bunch. The rep there told me that they can use whatever material we like to make the mats in whatever colour. He stated that most people go with nylon, or a nylon/cotton blend which resembles wool, but is essentially your regular residential style carpet. We're looking at prices of around $150/per pair. If we want wool, he stated that it would be "expensive" at around $200-$250 per pair, which IMO is still reasonable.
Embroidery is an option, but would be an extra cost. An exact quotatation is obviously not avail. since the rep would have to see exactly how much work is needed.
I suggested that we may need a few pairs, and asked for a discount of somesort. The rep did not seem too opposed to the idea, and suggested that we should go down there and meet with him.
I think the best idea is to round a few of us up together, and go down to Cascade to actually meet with the guys there, and show them what we want. I'm guessing that the quotation will change somewhat, when they realize that they have to accomodate those lovely "lumps" we have in front of the seats.
What do you all think? I have seen their work, and quality is unmatched. Prices seem reasonable also.
Let me know your thoughts.

Tim,
Do you have any time off during the week at all? I believe that Cascade is closed on the weekends. I was thinking Friday, but let me know what works best for you.
Cheers

PS-I work nights this week, so during the day any day would really be ok.

Thanks for checking that out Asif 
I can meet you guys on Friday after 3:00pm to go to this place. Dang, I had the day off today too, should have asked sooner
The prices seems reasonable. With all the options like wool and adding a logo, we're still way below Rick Prices. We should market our own mats

Danny,
They are open till 5pm and don't need a template. I guess they can take the measurements themselves. I don't have a phone book handy, but if I recall they are on 12 st N.E.
I will meet you there @ 3pm
Cheers

PS-Tim if you can come along, that would be great also.
