Edit: May 20th, order submitted. Scheduled completion date: Jun 1.
Guys,
Okay, I've decided to put in another order for the badges, and hopefully they'll turn out correct. This time, I will only order enough for you guys, and no more. So pls let me know if I got this straight before I order. Again, the silver (both nose and door tabs) will have "CORPORATE CONCEPTS" along the bottom. The gold will not. All will have the trim around the edges.

Johnyrottin 1 x gold nose badge 2 x gold door tabs 1 x silver nose badge 2 x silver door tabs
Rick: 2 x silver door tabs
Julian: 1 x gold nose badge 3 x silver door tabs
Nelson: 1 x gold nose badge 1 x silver nose badge
Dan: 1 x gold nose badge 1 x silver nose badge extra stuff
Ivan: 1 x silver nose badge 2 x silver door tabs
Dana: 2 x gold nose badge 4 x gold door tabs
Pricing will be: $10 per nose badge $5 per the smaller door tab Shipping included in prices.
I won't get down there to later this week, so pls be patient
Tom
Success!
Gold nose badges and door tabs:
Silver nose badge and door tabs:
Every badge and door tab will be protected in individual ziplock bags:
Every order will get a few of the badges and/or door tabs from the "that's just wrong" order, no extra charge. Good for coffee mugs, pen holders, office, back of cell phone, etc.
Yep, it looks cool here!
Dan, I messed up on your order, I only have one gold nose badge and one silver nose badge for you. But I have several correct silver door tabs if you'd like those.
Indy, Johnny, Ivan, and Dana...please PM me your mailing address and I will get these out ASAP. Rick, Julian, Nelson, Dan...I already have your mailing address, so no need to PM me. In the package I will include my paypay e-mail address. If you like the badges, you can pay for them at that time. If you don't like them, just send them back to me.
Again...I cannot attest to the longevity of these items. I clear coated mine and seems to hold up fine. Its completely up to you if you want to do so. Wash them very gently with Dawn and your fingers, rinse, air dry, and spray with Duplo high gloss crystal clear. Shake can WELL...at first it will look dull, but it will dry clear. Your pick on mounting...either tape or in the case of the door tabs, I just used one small drop of super glue (and I do mean one SMALL drop).
Cheers, Tom Edit: I don't believe it!!! My FIRST page!! LOL...well, actually my second page!

Rick, really nice job on lowering the Mera! It is just perfect now!
Nice photos Julian! Wow, the weather looks so nice and clear there. That is a perfect backdrop to your Mera
Dick, I like that badge! Is that on your Mera? Hmmmm....you got me thinking!!
The "Stinkin' Badges" will be mailed out this morning to:
Indy, JohnnyRottin, Julian, Nelson, Rick, and Dan. They will be in a small padded envelope (look like miniture manila envelope with the bubble wrap inside). Open carefully along the side!! Don't use scissors.
Still waiting for addresses from Dana and Ivan.
Gotta run! Tom

Well, I always thought that "Contemporary Concepts" raised more questions than it answered. So, I "photoshopped" my nose badge, printed it, covered it with packing tape, mounted it with double faced tape and took a pic. Matching the font color was the hardest part. Anyway, it's probably good 'til we get our next rain--couple years ;-)
I like it. So, if anyone wants the .jpg file, it's yours. Yeah, Tom, it you're thinking what I think you're thinking, I'll take one!
Ok how about putting PONTIAC or PMD (Pontiac Motor Division) at the top, then the double M and MERA with FIERO below that? Extremely crude rendition below:
PONTIAC m M MERA FIERO
Darn it Tom. Am I going to have to buy more stinkin badges???????
It's going to be tough going against those Arizona & Hawaii backdrops..... Great pic holmes! All I can say is everyone who submitted a pic should look forward to this issue in September.
WHAT!!!?? MY MIDDLE SILVER.....UH OH!! i had better get on the ball if i want it
"kidney for sale. get a fresh kidney, for sale." "non-drinker and very active so theres no fat on it whatsoever"
oh wait, thats the liver and is not there only one in there?....crap!
damn i hate being rushed....OK then. its on!! the one with the most toys wins......hahahahaaaa!
so i hope you live in the desert as your name implies?? greater distance equals better odds....for me coincendentaly, i do know of a 1987 Mera, #7029 for sale in SanDiego if you are out West! just saying.... cuz, THE PROTOTYPE IS MINE
comic book sale soon!

Dan, where was the pic taken (the one where youare parked in a handicap zone). Lake Micigan?
nope its at the Mavcon building just down the road from me....thats West Lake. right next door to the WestLake Drive-In, here- YUMMY!! just like the old days with girls taking orders....meow!
i have 5-6 large lakes surrounding me. some MI swampland too...in the State Game area across the street. i am a Michigan Wilder-Dude on the edge of 200,000 people in the Metro Kazoo area....after me its corn thru Indiana ahahahaaaaaa
got a big car show next weekend if you feel you need to break away. all kinds of cool cars....over 200 easy. the whole town of Vicksburg is packed on the streets. Friday night its a crusie in, show on saturday. 2 Mera would be awesome!!
mine?? its a sunroof....one of only 35.8% total made for 1987 appearently.....thats cool you see that the power windows are only in 7% of the 1987 Fieros....really? awesome to have that option in a low production FieroSE....1987 edition. collecting is so much fun in hindsight
seems that as a Fiero, ole X has got some cool options to boot.
i like that.......kind of stuff

see one good thing about saving every picture Mera, i have ever seen. its that i can confirm without Rick getting under his car....well unless you 1988 Mera guys aint got that door scoop air box...cuz Mera#7071 does
now i know we cant see the box but its got the "piping". so as of right now #6001, #7071 and Mera X have the DoorScoop Airbox! which for me RULES!!! this may be the last "in NO Way, is Mera X, a kit" feature
and this is a Kit that IndyRestoGuy has, i think and look no air box.....
this molded airbox may be the best Kit/Mera confirmation yet, no?? chime in if you know of a Kit with that feature
I have every part you can see in the above picuture. What I am not sure of it the part shown from underneath your car. If I have time tomorrow I will get under mine and compare it to your other picture.
Dan, the pics are a little confusing..... How do I check for an air box? Is it part of the fiberglass? Because the red kit you just posted is of the fiberglass only. Or is it mounted to the spaceframe? What's the flshlight trick?
------------------ Julian - MERA #8071

sure am glad i dont need to fuss with the Mera letters
i would use the lock as center and use the diameter of said lock as the spacing between....
now i was talking to a Fellow mera owner today and he says he aint got this connected to his door scoop. what say you all? comes right out of the bottom of the black air filter can....here
hopefully you can see thats it is tapped into that fiberglass "box"......this view is thru the screen over the opening.
shine a flashlight thru the door scoop bird screen to see if you have a hole for the intake Filter. fresh air in, seems like a good thing thru here.....the pic above the whole kit shell is of Mera #7071 in the process of a rather large eng swap...V8 i believe
there is a hole between the rear drivers wheel and the wheel well itsself.....directly under the door scoop. i just shove my camera up in it and click....
whoops sorry....underneath the car is a spot where one can peer up into the back of the scoop area... i had X, jacked up because of a in garage flat earlier in this year and noticed that air box. i could always hear a sucking noise and now i know why.....forced air induction RAM AIR if you will!! now for a new design with modern air filtershumm....what can be done here??
not sure if this will help but i got the back drivers tire in for reference....just behind the wheel well cover the black at the top of the photo is the coolant hose after the metal pipe. the bottom white/red arrow points to the AirBox......
guess where else i have seen this "air box" bet you cant??? d
now i see this will help....
the black glass on the left is the bottom of my door scoop. the water is seepage from washing it. so this pic is off by 90 degrees.
forced air intake....dare i say, true cold air intake?? maybe??..... 'specally on a cool, brisk morn

i am game, as long as Polly is giving the full scope hahahahaaaa......Richard?? try that again
That is kind of funny--the url was really long so I decided to use tiny. Guess my clipboard had some other stuff in it--sure glad it wasn't one of those naughty sites I've been frequenting ;-)
I corrected it--if anyone still cares
