Ivan Tampi Custom's Widebody Stingrays at LA Auto Show (Pics)
I didn't see Ivan when I stopped by his booth at the LA Auto Show, but his latest widebody conversions would have been hard to miss. While there are more mods on these cars than I care for personally, the quality workmanship is quite evident.

My mom always told me “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything.” So I have no comment on those things.

That flavor of green looks decent.

While all the flourishes are a little over the top, I have to say I like Ivan's wide-body shape better than GM's wide-body.

A shame with the basically nice (imho) body mods, i.e. front-end and wide fenders he didn't show a car decked out that way. Amazing how much crappola can be stuck onto an otherwise nice design and masterfully... screw it ALL up.

I agree the craftsmanship is certainly there. I guess if you have the coin; he can probably do it up the way you would want

To each their own...not what I would like to have on my car except the wide body ...

Yeah, but looking past all the bling, that wide-body design is far more attractive than GM's C7 design. I don't know what it costs, but as others have said, you could most certainly have a standard looking car w/o all the bling.

Their skirts blending into rear quarters reminds me of the

I was also thinking it reminded me much more of the C7R than the OEM design does.

Did anyone notice the rear bumper flexing a good inch or two at that speed...
So is that normal for all of our bumpers or a design flaw of that widebody kit??
