I found a company named Emblempros that makes custom badges. They made my nose badge, I am happy with the way it looks. Mine is like the 87 silver nose badges. Roger at Emblempros was very helpful, maybe he can make a gold nose badge for the 88 MERA. Just take the Corporate Concepts lettering off the 87 image and add the bar that the 88 has.

Here's the image that he used to make my nose badge.

I think this is an original 88 nose badge

i am the lucky son of a gun that got his hands on MERA 8041 . 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.

Congrats on the purchase. You don't have to answer here, but does that mean your other project is over with?

No RCR i plan on finishing the 328 KIT car and will sell it once completed. i plan on keeping the mera and my convertible only. its crazy because i prefer the front end on the 328 which has the cool turn signal / fog lights.
