Absoluetly. Though, gold, brushed aluminum, chrome, etc are considered specialty "colors" and therefore can cost sometimes double the normal price. I'm not sure about their life expectancy as I've never dealt with the stuff at my work.
You should ask a print shop near you and I can provide the file with the text outlined for plotting.[This message has been edited by zigaroo (edited 10-20-2009).]

these Mera's are tight cars. I had a squeak that I could not find while driving, bugging me. turned out to be the leather seat rubbin cuz its pushed all the back. My 95 Trans Am makes more body noise than this so called "kit car". real thick panels. I love it. just need a faster engine too keep up with its looks and its set.
By the way I Emailed the Mera on craigslist for his build # to add to the list.
His add mentioned one thing I asked Rodney about. "ALL 87 meras were made out of GT's". Well this is not true, My 87 Mera is VIN coded as an SE, and that article that got me all excited eairler says that the SE may be a special order, to my delight. Question? is it safe to say (inspired by another thread about rarity here on Pennok's) maybe the RAREST Fiero may be the X amount of SE's converted to Dealer scantioned Mera Conversions in 1987. Or is it tru that ALL 1987 meras were made out of GT's??
wait cant be cuz of the article..........SO ITS FACT......right??????hopefully...I need something...
Rodney said that there "MAYBE" some SE's made in 1987. "not sure."
Maybe he can validate my memory if I remember correctly. I talked his ear off once or twice.............lot 'o' questions
great idea with the C.C. side badge. 'cept the words are too long each.
gotta double it
CORPRATE
CONCEPTS
in black on silver just like the nose badge.... maybe ran togeather corprateconcepts in lower case......like you did?

I made it from scratch in Illustrator so it can be any size you want with whatever changes you'd like.

Very nice--clean. I used Bonk font but the "R" is not quite right, so I used an "A" with a "notch" made from a background color triangle. Check the original Mera font from previous entries.

zigaroo...very nice! I like the stacked version better, but can you possibly show how it would look, not centered, but the second line indented:
corporate
......concepts
(don't mind the dots, had to put them in to indent)
Thanks!

If you look closely, you won't see any Ferrari badging. Took them all off and replaced them with other things (see below). Not real sure, but I may be one of the very few that has a Mera, that actually shows as a Mera. I like it much better now, talking with folks about the history of the Mera, and not having to explain "if its so collectible, why is badged out like a Ferrari?"
Went from this:
To this: (I also took apart the reverse lights and painted the inside with a chrome/silver paint. Looks 100% better.)

Where did you get the "Mera" emblems for the inner door handle surrounds? Are these factory? They look great.

That would be great if you can provide the file. Maybe there is a "liquid silver" color available that would look nice This could also make a nice interior logo on the radio surround or console plate.

Just my opinion, but if the "MERA" letters had a little more space around them, or maybe just a bit smaller, they would not overpower the Pegasus below. Someone should make these!
