Could anyone photoshop the wheels on Rodneys Mera is the satin gold color of the Ferrari Scuderia racing wheels? Just want to see how the wheels would look in this finish.

This one was fun, but was no easy task. Used Bank Gothic as the basis, but then had to change every line to get it to match closer to the MERA emblem on the bottom of that "master" picture of the original emblems.

It's still not technically correct, but it looks good if you don't know any better. For nit-pickers, the M and E could be slightly adjusted. I noticed there was a slight theme in these letters where all the legs weren't the same size. Instead, one leg would be thin, the other thick, thin, thick, etc. Same pattern was with them all... which is why the A is going to look a little different. Also, the angled leg for the R might be a bit too thick.

Anyways,



I know there's some other requests via PM, but unless you guys have a means of getting these things done, I'm going to delay some of 'em since I just took on a huge touch screen project out at work.

Very nice!! the second and fourth have the amount of space around the Mera I like. This makes the Pegasus stand out and still identifys the car. Excellent work! Who can make these for us?

Tom,

I have a set of original MERA wheel centers for the lace wheels that came off Bob Bracey's wife's car. They are a bit different from Rodney's current decals which use a black design on silver/gray vinyl. The ones that I have appear to be a black design on a clear vinyl that have been applied to the standard type of Fiero metallic center cap. They work well on the conventional wheels but are too shallow for the 88 Chromadoras.

If you or I can could locate the correct depth and diameter wheel centers, I have already spoken with someone about pricing for providing domed vinyl stickers. There is a set up charge but I would pay that if there is some interest in several people getting sets.

Thanks for the tip Rodney! In fact, I just got a set of the black plastic lug covers last week. Now I'm looking for new set of those GM lug nuts. I know they are available on e-bay.

I'll definitely pursue the round center caps after I finetune the 87 nose badge project. Were they gold and black, or silver and black? In your picture, the one on the left looks like silver and black...could be just the camera angle and lighting, though. I'll pursue those in support of the Mera community. Although not 100% original, I kinda like the Pontiac center caps myself, since it adds that Pontiac "label" to the car. But If I can zigaroo's MERA badge artwork, that may also look awesome as a wheel centercap.

If you have the capability of providing original design MERA rear deck louvers with the correct mounting points, I will take a set. I have one other source for louvers, but it is not a stock design wrt attachment points and I would prefer to keep things as original as I can. Let me know what you can do here.
