Default Help me! Whos car is this?

There was a guy that posted up his car here. I believe he was from Europe, maybe Sweden. He did the 98+ conversion to his Trans Am, he has multi spoke wheels, the car is this awesome redish metallic color. I believe his car was featured in a Euro auto magazine. Can anyone tell me who he is or point me to the thread where he posted pics please?

Thanks in advance!

-Ben

I found a distributor near me. I hope it is not crazy expensive, Being a candy red special effect color usually means premium dinero. Red is the most expensive color out there.

Doh! Scratch that. This Standox paint costs $3-400 a liter! I will need about 4 liter to paint a car my size!!! AHHHHHHH! That plus I would need to pay international shipping from Germany if I could get them to do such a thing... Another $2-300! Screw it I'll find another color
