Thanks for the compliments. Wow, the emblem actually does look good on the car! Hmmm, I'm actually contemplating putting the 87 emblem on my 88. Maybe...
Sofa King; Thanks. Actually, I'm not sure I understand what you mean, since the letters, I believe, are cutouts under the clear plastic. The only way to get to them is to remove that entire white piece, and that mean's grinding out all 12 of those tiny, melted plastic posts. In retrospect, I should have used a "clear" red paint. I haven't mounted the bezel yet, so I don't know how it will look with the lights on. But irrelevant for my Mera, since I don't drive it at night.

hey Tom? if you put a 87 emblem on a 88 you will not be OEM (did i use that right?). just kidding.....you have the most stock lookin MERA of the bunch....in my opinion.....you should keep it that way....
i like the silver for the fact they go with my rims.....as a side note; with a job...i am looking into getting some pentangle OEM?? Fiero GT rims and painting them GOLD.....like the BBS type spoaked rims on them automobile' de Italia. if/when this happens, the gold emblems will be reinstalled.... Grammar Shrammar.......lets drive..Later- D[This message has been edited by batousai666 (edited 11-15-2009).]

Another indicator might be the awful plush carpet--could be just an '88 thing. I've seen it listed on the spec sheets and I have it in my '88--not pretty.
Went to the FCA Desert Region car show yesterday. Wanted to get some pics of the 308s--wheels, badges, etc. There were about half a dozen GTS and GTBs, but they were all pulling out as I arrived--oh, well, next year. There were more that just Ferraris there--Lambos, a de Tomaso Mangusto, and an absolutely gorgeous (is that a chic word?) Aston Martin Lagonda. Well, I guess that's all sort of off topic--sorry, got carried away.[This message has been edited by reholmes (edited 11-15-2009).]

Dick, I agree with you. I have the same "plush" carpet. When I removed my center console to install my guage wires, I noticed that they just glued it right on top of the original carpeting. Thus, its really thick against the console area, and the seats drag against it in this area. Would be nice to find out the name of the company that was sub-contracted out to do the interior (I believe yours is just like mine). Just something to add to the history of the car. Wonder if it would still be in business? Rodney says it was not done by Corporate Concepts, but rather by a local (I assume in Capac area) upholstery shop.

I hate the stuff--so dated--fortunately those great mats came with the car so my sneaks don't get hung up in the fuzz. I'd like to replace it with stock Fiero, but like you said, it adds to the history.
