Are these for the interior door handle escutcheons? They do look good. I think the Fiero logo/symbol is really cool--too bad Bracey didn't see fit to integrate it into the Mera badge.
I have Mera badges on my door handles--I think Paul V put them on there. Check with Rodney.

Polo shirts! Try Queensboro.com.
Here are some old "Fiero Owner" articles that came with the car: http://cid-d42fccc03b76b32c...se.aspx/Public?uc=4. Appears FOCOA and "Fiero Owner" are long gone--too bad.[This message has been edited by reholmes (edited 09-29-2009).]

thank you for the articles.dang. thats tough. there are pictures of PRODUCTION!!! very helpful. look in the back grounds. try to get a feel of the whole process.
I was looking for this exact kind of stuff. I have a very low VIN #. one of those pictures is from at best early 1987. My car might be one of thoes. did he say SE special order. MINES AN SE!!!! by VIN anyway. WHOOOOO....slow down. man i am shakin'.
you know "when you just know". I feel weird. whoops... RPO sheet says mines a black one. Damn. wish they were in color.EDIT:
looks to be a black set on the floor in another picture though.
EVEN BETTER! cuz its in front of the others if that is a split picture. Half and half. one side storage the other work shop.
yeah... I wonder if the "panels against the wall" are Mera or Fiero???
in another thread i asked about how many cars were working. looks like 4 or so. at a time. man that place was BIG.[This message has been edited by batousai666 (edited 09-29-2009).]

Fiero mera weight 2590lbs
Ferrari weight 3250lbs
A 308 destined for the American market would sport much larger heavier bumpers and a slightly sturdier frame (and many other smaller details) in order to meet stringent US road safety standards.
the 308's bodywork was entirely made of glass-reinforced plastic (or GRP), allowing a very light weight of 1,050 kg (2,315 lb). The engine borrowed its dry-sump lubrication from Ferrari's racing experience. This lasted until June, 1977, when the 308 was switched to steel, resulting in an, alleged, 150 kg (331 lb) additional weight. However, a steel-bodied GTB only weighs 12 kg (26 lb) more that its fiberglass body

Dick: Thanks for uploading those articles! Great reading, first time I've seen a couple of them.
Dan: LOL...calm down guy, grab a cup of coffee! J/K. Hey, the nose badge looks great! Check your e-mail.
Australian: Can you provide the source of the Mera weight? If you have an article or spec sheet, can you please e-mail it to me or better yet, post here?
Tom
