Nose Badge......................$165
MERA Decklid Letters.........$185
Engine Callout Badge.........$135
GTS Badge.......................$135

Top three are available now but I have to send them the GTS badge so they can CAD it and get it ready.




yes i also spoke to billet badges and thank you for the info but they can only make the aluminum nose badge and not the gold needed for an 88. i will try around with different trophy shops and see what happens but if worse comes to worse i will just use the silver / aluminum front badge. You guys are awesome i am soo glad after 10+ years of searching i am a MERA owner. now to remove all these ferrari badges

I had this nose badge on the front of my MERA for a couple of years, Billet Badges made the first one for me. After I painted the car I replaced it with the MERA badge from Emblempros. The Billet Badges version tends to collect bugs and anything else that comes along and started looking pretty tired. I stumbled across Emblempros and they made the current badge that's on my car and it is clear acrylic so it stays clean.

I just spoke with Roger at Emblempros and he has the same material with gold backing so he can make the 88 version badge in gold. Earlier today I sent him the 88 image to make a couple of silver badges so he has the 88 artwork.

so i found a local place to make some emblems just to play around with some ideas but i still think the billet badge by johnnyrottin is amazing due to the raised font. but check it out the person inverted the design and i think its kind of cool . what do you guys think ? i can get some more made up if you guys like them since i already paid the fee for the file to be done. the second image is the original one re-made by "real mera in paradise"

Who was the person who wanted the miniature Mera stickers designed to fit on the interior door lock/unlock panel? I have unfortunately lost the contact info during the search process. After a lot of looking I located my stash of these items and have them for 87 and 88 vehicles (black/silver 87 and gold/black 88).

Nelson that was me. Since i just acquired a real mera ( after 10 year search ) i have MERA fever. So I took the advise of " a real mera in paradise " and found a trophy shop with laser engraving that was able to make them for me. I still think johnnyrottins badge is by far the best due to the raised font and textured back. But these are actual emblems and since i already paid for the design he can remake them pretty cheap if anyone needs some.

Hello fellow Mera owners. Did I hear a rumor about a Dragons Tail?

Julian,

Expect further details to be posted later in the year. It is currently scheduled for near the end of September. You can likely go to the Georgia Fiero Club web site and get more details but there is normally a thread posted on PFF.

We now have a viable source for MERA sail panels. I have an evaluation pair and they look quite nice. Contact me if you have any specific needs in this area.
