Pm sent. By any chance did you take documentation along your steps with photos that can possibly help out if it comes to me having to go this route. I am by no means a fabricator but it seems like something fun to try out on maybe I can show this to my body shop guy. I'm wondering how much it would be to have the frames waterjet cut out done.

If you can't get a pair of fiberglass louver panels my solution may be an option. The louvers on my Mera were warped beyond repair. I saw the louvers that Bloozeberry made for his Stinger 308 kit and did something similar for my car. I had the frames water jet cut out of 1/8 aluminum sheet. The slats are 1/16 x 1 1/4 aluminum bar stock. It was a challenge to bend the frames to match the sail panels, I used a Harbor Freight ring roller. The aluminum panels are much better than my old set that were some type of plastic, not fiberglass.

No connection to seller.

Not a Mera since it is a 1986 and certainly is not the prototype. There are also other discrepancies visible in the few included photos and they (IMO) confirm kit car.

The 88 MERA sold. I spoke with the buyer this morning, it is 8041. The listing had the year wrong, the VIN said it was an 88 Formula.
He said it is a really nice car, the pictures on the Ebay listing made it look terrible but it is actually a very nice car, only has 12,000 miles and spent most of it's life in a garage. What a deal, the V8 swap alone would cost more than the sale price.[This message has been edited by Larryinkc (edited 01-09-2020).]

Hey there guys and gals! Happy New Year to one and all. Glad to see this thread is STILL going strong after 9+ years!
Just FYI, I've directed about 3-4 people to this site, people who have asked me questions regarding the Mera badges. Obviously they must be reading through to get my contact info, which is fine. But I recommended that they join the Forum since you'all are the Mera experts! Hope they join in on the fun!
Again, Happy New Year everyone! Keep those Mera's going!!
Aloha,
Tom

i am the lucky son of a gun that got his hands on MERA 8104 . i confirmed it is indeed the real deal with Rodney dickman before the purchase. It was the original owner as the title confirms it by date and he was an older gentleman who originally posted it as an 86 then changed it to an 87 ONCE he realized the mistake he made he pulled the ad off EBAY to avoid further confusion. Since i was the first person to contact him we spoke on the phone and came up with a reasonable price between the two of us. I purchased it the next morning not for the price you see listed but actually more.
Does anyone with a current MERA nose bdage be willing to take there car to a trophy shop with laser engraving capabilities to have new badges created. I have contacted " real mera in paradise" but the trophy shop he had them done at is no longer in business and without one on hand they cannot make anything. Anyone willing to get new ones created I would be paying for all the related fees associated with having them re-created. I cant be the ONLY one in need of Mera badges am I ?
Feel free to PM me or call me if you prefer to just deal with each other. THanks in advance and i am happy to be a part of the group after my 10 year search for a real MERA.

It's so great a Pennock's member bought this car, and will appreciate and protect it into the future. And it appears you treated the original owner fairly too.. very classy.
My Mera has a new front medallion to replace the deteriorated original, which has the Corporate Concepts lettering removed as you can see if the image. I can look for the OE badge if you wish, but it's not in wonderful shape and if found, will take photo-shopping to clean up.
