Dan...something strange here...I´ve just emailed Rodney to verify my Mera nr again. I´ve owned the car since 2003 and was told by Rodney back then that my car is nr 7005. The guy on Ebay claims that his car is nr 5...
Ok, I just got a very quick reply from Rodney. My car is nr 7004!!! Where did I get 7005 from?. I have no idea...Sorry Dan for confusing you. Thanks Rodney for the information.

The reverselights are a bit missaligned on mera 7005. Interesting. I have the same on my car. Haven´t seen it on later cars. Must be an early Mera production error... The interior is exactly the same in my car, full leather interior.
Yes Dan, I will try to be more active in the forum, I´m just a lazy guy :-)
say fellas.....i think there is something amis with than Meras interior.....the pleting it messed up. now it it "broke loose" at the stiching, I have yet to see the Leather package in person....but this is what we want.....
JanR's Mera #7004 (makes me soo happy)
Mera#7006
now this to me is the clincher......Mera #8044 "Paradise" TOMMY's Mera in for the kill.....
now the leather in Mera #7005 is all puffy and the pleats are either "broke" or something happened in the Production between #7004 and #7005.
to me the interior looks F-CAR!! not Mera cept the leather on the Passanger side where the "glovebox" goes. that has the proper pleating.....more to follow....

/Mera 7005...I mean 7004 ;-)
if you notice the whole car is misaligned. i think the frame may be a little twisted. if it's not, its an optical illusion or something.
and JanR what do you mean reverselights are misaligned....in what way? i got to check for it on mine
i purchased 2 sets of new old stock "mera" rear decklid letters, and 2 sets of new old stock "2.8v6" emblems, and 1 used gts emblem. once i get them i will post pics. waiting on shipping.
well now after a good going over that interior is wack....the pleating is all wrong. the only thing i DO like is the seats and the replacement tail-lights and panel salvage.
also i sent him a message, but does he say Mera 5 out of 88? thats wrong too. #7005 is in Sweden.
Dan
Dan, I believe you are looking at a correct optional 87 leather interior. The 87 here in El Paso has the same pattern on the seats, door panels, and console, but in tan leather. From the papework I was shown this, was an optional interior offered by Coorporate Concepts in 1987. The only other answer could be it was done by the same selling dealer. The El Paso 87 was purchased new in southern California.
On another note, I can now see why the Mera hood is so heavy. Look at the amout of fiberglass overlay necessary on the Fiero hood. Also I noticed the square tube bumper supports have lots of adjustment holes drilled in them. Hopefully this will make flipping and tucking the stock bumper in a little easier that I thought. Has anyone else had their stock bumper off the car?
Update:
Dan looking at all the interior pictures side by side, It looks like the black interior has has some repair work done on the door panels and console. The El Paso car has the same seat pattern as the black car, but the dash, console, door panels, and map pockets match Tom's car. This is getting more confusing. Tom have you changed your seat upholstery? Perhaps there were running changes in the interiors as they were produced for each car.

i am thinking that the Ebay Mera #7005 has a F-Car interior. they look close but the OEM Mera interior seems to have more "tuck and rolls" or what ever the term is. i do not like the interior of the #7005 as is.but #7004(grey) and #8044(tan) i do like. theirs are not so puffy and i like the more "stitch" lines in the finish product. so if the Leather on the E-bay Mera does turn out to be OEM,i will...... 1st eat my hat and 2nd still not like it it looks horrible in my opinion. i like the flatter examples in Toms car and the other 2 1987's i have seen below.
kinda worked....but you see not enough pleate...no sir, i dont like it thats why i am balking on a bid. i will try a low ball offer if Mike dont snag it. but come whatever may, i say.
then i can get back at them wheels.....

rodney... i am completely amused that you find the need to STALK me in every thread i have ever posted in here on pff. the time you have spent hijacking other peoples threads just to try to harass me. the time you have spent googling me, googling my companies, the time researching all the threads i have posted in here on pff. dont you have better things to do with your time and life? as you have noticed i have ignored you. i will continue to do so. this is the only response you will get from me as i dont really care what you think or say or the rumors you may try to start about me or my companies. as far as pics of my engines, monster trucks, sema pics, mera pics and whatever else you have asked/badgered about in the last week here on pff... other upstanding members here on pff and mostly in this particular thread have these pics. so you just seem to be making a fool of yourself for everyone else to see. actually several of us here have been watching you and laughing at you in pm's. i wont answer your questions, i wont put up pics to your responses, and i wont dignify your stupid remarks. you need to stop hijacking other people threads here on pff. dont trudge up this thread either. leave well enough alone if you dont have something positive to say. again i dont care what you say or think. dont waste other peoples time here on pff. mike

In my opinion you are a pathological liar. Others can form their own opinions. You say many things and then offer no substantial proof. Talk is cheap. As long as you are in this group I will have no input on anything Mera related.
Again I have only asked questions that Mera7 seems to want to continually ignore. Answer these questions and I'll say I am sorry and come back to any Mera related discussions.

AWESOME... then get out of this room... as others in this thread have the pictures and proof you are looking for and can vouch for me.
so we are very clear... several months back i misquoted information about rodneys front 308 bumper kit and the lights that come with the kit. he corrected me. i quickly apologized publicly several times. he got crazy mad and ever since, especially lately, has tried to persecute me in this forum. he has STALKED me in every thread i have ever posted in, asking for pics, asking for proof, jacking with me, trying to push my buttons. he has googled me, googled my companies, obviously spent hours trying to annoy me, trying to invade my privacy. this is all is very amusing to me that he has nothing better to do. i have tried to ignore him for the last wk or two or however long hes been at it again. i will not respond to him again, nor will i dignify his responses. if anyone has questions for me i would be happy to answer them just pm me and i will send you pics or proof or talk to you about anything... everyone here knows me well enought to know that. lets just move on. thanks to all for letting me air this out. mike in oklahoma
in my honest opinion this thread is a registry in itself... and the thread is far more informative than the other registry. my .02
You started this here. I do the Mera registry. This to me was a shot at me personally. I have stayed away from this thread because of the posts you make but do nothing to verify anything you say you do and/or own.
this is my honest opinion, and several others as well. the "mera in paradise" thread and a few other mera threads here on pff have more information and the CORRECT information. as opposed to the "other" registry that has some mis information and a list of vin #'s and some names, of which has less than half the mera population is represented. and even though they are part of that registry they arent actually represented in that they dont have any input or inquisition power. and likely not up to date owners info on several. so yes this newer thread and a couple others here on pff have far more mera information than the "OLD" registry. the old is just that, old information. the "NEW" registry most of which we as a group have updated and built together is the best information out there on the mera as we know it. the new registry has tons of pictures of 87's and 88's from every aspect. the old registry does not. the new registry has testimonials of numerous owners as a group, collectively. IN MY OPINION "MERA IN PARADISE" IS THE REGISTRY!
so we are very clear... several months back i misquoted information about rodneys front 308 bumper kit and the lights that come with the kit. mike in oklahoma
You buy the left over Mera tail lights from Jimmy at Fiero Conversions for a very reasonable price. Then you put them up for sale at a rape me price. As a Mera owner and one who cherishes this rare car I am greatly offended. You buy kit car molds and then when people inquire on the price of a part they want you quote them a rape me price. Again as a Mera owner and one who cherishes this rare car I am again greatly offended. Tell me again how good you are for the Mera group.

jan from what i can tell mine were cut in as well... i will have to go look closely now to see if mine are straight or not.
i think since these were "hand cut" the wave in a unsteady hand and the taper at the top is going to be a deciding factor here. its 7 degrees up here and I aint going out there! could it be in the mold that way, maybe?
this is a good onethanks JanR for more things to look for.
BLUDDY 'ELL!! STINKING CONFIRMED MERA #7005. 
kinda worked....but you see not enough pleate...no sir, i dont like it 
thanks JanR for more things to look for.
