BVC5 Froogle Feed / MAP - Minimum Advertised Price Policy

We have just recently run into an issue with MAP - Minimum Advertised Price Policy.
Issue 1: I am using the {Edit Product Page} Text Field: See Sale Price in Cart
I wish this looked better on the site... (Has anyone developed something cleaner looking for the customer?)
Issue 2:
Regarding the Google Shopping - BV Froogle Feed { Plugin: BV Froogle Feed }
MAP Issue: As a dealer I am only allowed to advertise products of a particular manufacturer as "List Price".
The BV Froogle Feed is submitting the Selling Price (Cart Price). I think this goes against the MAP Policy.
The price is advertised all over Google Shopping with our website name and shopping cart price... I believe we are currently violating the MAP policy.
Has anyone scripted a work around for this?
Possible Solution: Write a custom Google Feed and stop using BV Froogle Feed (Not sure how to do this)
Possible Solution: Modify Google Feed (Not sure how to do this)
Group feedback would be appreciated.
Not sure which direction to turn... I want to meet the demands and requirements of the MAP Policy.
Thank you.

You could try modifying the Googlebase Feed to send the product list price by editing the following file: www\BVAdmin\Plugins\BV Froogle Feed\Default.aspx.vb Find this line of code: Code:
sb.Append(SafeString(p.GetCurrentPrice(String.Empty, 0D, Nothing).ToString))
And replace with this: [code] sb.Append(SafeString(p.SitePrice.ToString)) Wallace Miller -- Narrowpath Design

Before you jump, you may want to check and see what some of your competitors are doing for pricing on such items on Google Base.
Guessing most are showing what they sell it for on the website.
Anyway to deal with this if you need to show MAP pricing for some items will require some work.
I would approach it using a product template with MAP price as a field.
Then when doing the feed I would check to see if MAP price exist. If so use it, If not use Site price.
I use a similar method populating fields such as:
Custom Description tailored for feeds.
UPC
Brand
