Default Who's car?

Does anyone know who's car this is? I think I keep seeing it on the freeways (or one very similar to it-same AC kit, same color), but it's always going in the opposite direction. I've seen it on different stretches of the 605 only. I thought I saw it with some HID's the other day. Looked like a retrofit.

...looks like it's an Artnmotion car...

Just like seeing a clean Brabus equipped Mercedes, after all these years, that kit on that car still takes my breath away. It's just SO clean and really makes the SC look SO SO NICE.

Cait wait to get mine one...all who MESSED UP the group buy (like Marc, Emery, Quan to name a few...)...your loss suckers...

Lex400SC & Lex Luthor, when you guys are ready for one, let me know....

I'm getting close to getting mine. Gotta save up a few more bucks and get my 98 fogs on order for some inspiration. I'll let you know, I am contacting Auto Couture today to see what type of wholesaler discount I can get.
