Hello everybody!
Many of Yours know the Russian kit Laura 3.
It was discontinued by the original manufacturers some time ago...
I have contacted the autors of this kit and currently relocating manufacturing of this kit in Europe.
If all business regarding things will go well, we can start producing bodys in this winter.
Doe’s anybody be interested in bying this kit, so we need to decide about the variations of kit, and potential client wishes?
Best regards,
Yuris Vecvanags

I wonder if we can buy only the interiors. Even though the Piranha kicks the stuffing out of the Fino and those original kits. As for the price, that is just amazing. I would definitely buy a fiero just for that and put a killer V-8 in there.

3500 for complete kit, int and ext. I am waiting for a reply back regarding if they will sell just the int. kit. HIOSILVER I cant find the pics I had of it. Anyone?

Ok! I will you inform You as soon any activities will start.
Yes. there will be the possibility to bye the interior separately.
Regarding interior there is a bit of problem, as door skins are not horizontal as on fiero, but little straight upwards to the rear side. So they would not fit!.
We are thinking of little redesigning in door panels so thet will fit stock locations of Fiero door.
WOW! $3500 for the whole kit? Thats pretty well priced! I think I'm gonna have to get me another fiero soon as those come out and do the whole body kit

Its very cool looking(cool way to reuse the stock guage cluster).... but you think kicking the dash on the way out is annoying now? Look at how far that sticks out from the pillar!

Anyone got more pics of the tail-lights, they look awesome from the pic above. I don't know about that big "Spoiler" though. That is an awesome price for a kit though. I'd like to hear some comments from anyone who's bought the kit before I went and got one. Seems too good to be true, what kinda quality is the kit? I like to see more pics, especially of the interior.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by HIOSILVER!: [B]Update Hello!
Currently we arn’t decided the price for the kit, cause rearangement is in progress.
It will depend on desingers profit yhey want to earn from each sold kit, but we hope to keep the price for kit ( including complete interior)
Of around 3500$, if not less. Parts would be hand laid fiberglass and colored gelcoat finishing.
The website containing all information will be up ass soon we sign the contract and have the molds delivered!
Payment will be available by credit card and maybe other payment also will be available. Also we are thinking of shipping insurance and other things.

This is like ancient history revisited. I saw the prototype Pyranha at Carlisle two or three years ago and it looked very nice. Personally I don't like the huge high airplane wing or the rear tail light arrangement but at $3500 I believe that they will sell very well. There's lot's of competition (Finale, ZR2, Lambos, etc.) but if you outprice them and have a quality product you should sell a few of these.
Call me skeptical, but the Pyranha (Laura) kit surfaces every few months or so, and no one outside of Russia ever seems to be able to buy one.
Maybe it's different this time and someone in Europe really is going to manufacture them and sell them in the western hemisphere. Who knows? It they really are for sale they will sell quite a few of them.
The interior alone would be worth a few bills. I'm sure I'd get one.

That wasn't that far out of russia. From what I remember that car show was in France was it not? I remember it being in Europe/Asia none the less. And the makes just refused to **** overseas, not outside of the borders of Russia from what I understand. If I am wrong, please correct me, but as far as I remember, that is right.

That looks a lot like the Carlisle Fairgrounds to me.

How are they going to be able to sell the whole package so cheap? I've seen other kits go for around $5K, and that's just the exterior. Something must've gotten mixed up. But if they are that cheap, I'm going to have to start saving. I love it!

Guess I was wrong, I just remember something like that comming out a long time ago when that red pyrahna picture surfaced. Most of had it confused with a different pic. Sorry guys for the wrong information.
