It's the project of a web vendor- not a supporting vendor here though.
The owner I believe is Procarparts. I've seen it at their website and some of the shows that they've been into.

There was a LOT of posting of drawings and prototype parts here on the forum, maybe 2-3 years ago.

1) If you want a ferrari, buy a ferrari.

2) If you put nice wheels on your 4x4, please lower it a little. Especially for a show car.

YMMV.

Well at least I still have my memory... It looks a lot like the front end Paras was designing:

Yup, haven't seen him too. The last thing was he was trying to get at least 10 orders for the front fascia for them to be able to manufacture the mold and actually do the fascia, the problem is he is asking people to give him $1000-1100 for a product that hasn't even had a mold yet so there is a very high risk involve for the people to give up a grand and a verbal promise that they would get the product in about a month. I would safely assume that nobody bit his offer. Hopefully he would get the finances to get his mold going and actually produce the product and maybe become a supporting vendor here.
