I'm pretty sure you can just insist. Afterall, you (or your parents?) are the ones who is paying.

Strange, the only time I didn't get to 'choose' was when they removed my elastics altogether and put metal wrapping all around the front, still not sure what's the purpose of this. They never explained it but as a result of that, I could not get colored elastics at the front... just at the bottom and on my power chains to close extraction gaps. I think you really should insist. What ever makes you happy.

Ok, thanks. I diidnt really insist.
