Wheres all of our top Fiero developers? I would have thought you guys would jump on the opportunity to bring something so new and impressive to the fiero community by investing in this project...
Archie? Songman? PISA? DKOV? Fierowarehouse? Yellow86? Aus? Kit car manufactures?
come on lets get this out and bring the fiero to the new age... 2004 and beyond...

Alex, Maybe you don't want to go into details, but at what stage are you in for production? What I mean is, do you have molds of the body and or interior, or do you just have the proto-type? (If it's just the proto-type, how about a build thread on how you did it?). Ultimately, what I'm getting at is, the more info posted, the more likely someone may step forward. How much are we talking to get this going? I'm going to spread the word a bit. Who knows, maybe something will happen to benefit everyone.
Good luck...
Bob

You might be right, Plazma Man borrowed from the 4th gen on the inside, he probably used the Trans Am nose as his starting point.

WOW! Finally a promising movement for our Fieros. I wanted the Dash So Much before, but like others I have an almost completed Firebird dash installed. I still think it is one of the nicest original(Not a Knock Off) kit. Great work!

All Heck, I'll back the project! How much monies were talking about? And how many REAL takers or talkers? {slap himself silly} j/k
Plasma, did you get any takers at those import shows? If produced, what would be the cost for the external kit, not the interior?
Nice kit. I seen it at Daytona. Looks good even w/o a chop! The rear wheels were 285's right?
Hey Exoticse, look at the side vents. With a IRM it can look like that you know?

Serious consideration would depend on price(s), what is included in the price(s), what level of completion we are talking about, etc. For example, I would be more interested in either a turnkey kit where I just provide a Fiero/engine, as opposed to getting a box of white parts in the mail. On the other hand, if the box o' parts were much cheaper, I would also consider that. Other people probably want to get their hands more dirty than me, which is completely understandable. ( I would even concur if I had more mechanical aptitude.) I would also require a list of every part/customization on the Plasma in those pictures to really be able to replicate its look. The clear panels and vents on the hood for example, are a work of art. Comments?
Did I see someone say CHOP TOP this car. Are you kidding, leave it as is, this car is perfect. Plazma you have got to find a boat shop, ask them to make molds, sell the molds at a higher price. I WAS going to purchase a lambo kit this week, but since your car has surfaced there is hope, if you could just get me the nose or something, I can start with that. i can and will still hold out. SELL SELL SELL SOMETHING PLEAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZE. ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Call me, email me, something I don't care let me know something 415-609-2362.

This car is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD!( as in good) What exactly is there ledt of a Fiero. Look at the door, in the opened door pic. That doesn't look anything like a Fiero door? I am wondering why GM hasn't caught on to this? That would be a great looking concept for the KAPPA platform.
How long and how much work is involved in this car? It looks like a completely different vehicle.
There is no way to resize without losing quality, unless you crop away part of the image. The other option is to post the image to another website that allows larger images and post the link on PFF.

If I had the know how, I would partner with you and get it going. I KNOW there is money in this kit. Besides I don't have the time. I own Vinyl Options in SF. If you anything about the import scene you should know about us. toot toot

Great to see this car coming to truition. Can't wait until you get backers for it.
As you can tell great interest in your car both interior and exterior.
Keep us posted on your progress. Need any help with translation I speak a little Russian so I may be able to help or at least learn some more Russian words.

What kind of backing are you looking for??? (Amount of money?) I could look into a few different options. I love your kit, and if you ever need a guinea pig fiero to install another one on... i have one outside that I could drive over there. LOL.... i hope this gets put into production.

Plazma Man, Not to rush you into telling the Pyranha/Laura/Plazma story, but that would probably become the most read story on the forum in a long time. Your car is legendary on this forum and when it finally showed up in person it was like a dream come true for most of us.
When you get a chance please tell us how the Plazma came to be, and it's relationship to the earlier cars. How many Pyranha/Lauras were built? were kits ever sold? what happened to them? These are the kinds of questions we have, so when you are ready to tell us, we are ready to listen. Thanks.
