Although some have criticized the styling, the latest sixth-generation Chevy Camaro is a head-turner, any way you slice it. Now, custom aftermarket body kit specialist Ivan Tampi is packing a powerful aesthetic punch with its new widebody treatment for the Camaro SS, as seen in the following GM Authority Live Photo Gallery.
For those readers who may not know, Ivan Tampi Customs is based out of Van Nuys, California, and was founded by self-taught automotive designer and fabricator Ivan Tampi. Tampi is best-known for creating the “Black Widow” series of body kits in the early ‘90s, and now, Ivan Tampi Customs offers a variety of aesthetic enhancements for vehicles like the C7-generation Chevy Corvette.
One of Ivan Tampi Customs’ latest products is this new widebody treatment for the Chevy Camaro, which includes a series of components from the company’s “XIC” line of body upgrades. Spotted on the floor of SEMA 2021, the new body kit transforms the Chevy Camaro into a candy-colored knockout.
The new components start with the hood, which features a large central power bulge and vent, giving the Chevy Camaro an imposing look. Like the other body components added to this two-door, the hood incorporates a reflective quality that’s woven into the carbon, thus complementing the exterior paint. To note, the paint is dubbed Kandy Purple, from House of Kolor.
The new components also include large fender flares front and back, which incorporate the same reflective quality as the hood bulge, while adding significant width to the stance to match the aggressive hood upgrade.
Under the fenders is a set of five-spoke Vicari Forged wheels, which have a similar purple-pink finish, plus a riveted-style lip and matching brake calipers underneath.
And we can’t forget the spiked, bullet-style lug nuts, finished in a darker purple finish than the wheels.
The rear end completes the look with a large GT-style wing, which attaches to the tail via two struts on the edge of decklid, complemented by black taillight housings and a black lower diffuser element.
Under the hood, this wide body Chevy Camaro features an unmodified factory engine, with 455 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque from the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT1 gasoline engine. As a reminder, the sixth-gen Chevy Camaro rides on GM Alpha platform, with production taking place at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan.

NICE……..
that is the biggest ugly stick I’ve ever seen. You’re supposed to keep abortions like this in Manga and Sega 8-bit consoles.
I’m with you on that ugly mess!
They should have their right to drive revoked, and forced to keep that thing in their basement as a reminder of what they did.
The original 1967 Camaro had clean and beautiful styling. A mess like this is the very reason why Camaro’s do not sell any more.
This makes me want to die
J Lo, I am truly shocked. Eight articles today and not one was about an accident, will miracles ever cease? I applaud you, but you must admit the Camaro is the ugliest thing I ever saw! What a waste of a good Camaro!
Yuck. What a mess. Camaro is a great looking vehicle as is. Leave them alone.
This Camaro would be an awesome badass in all black!
Are they not suppose to be on a Ford Raptor.
Just too much and Overkill ! Have to hang out the window to see the road!
I can’t believe you ruined a beautiful car like that. My 9 year old grandson doesn’t even like that look he lives my 2017 bumble bee ss camaro just like it is. Don’t ruin the great muscle cars by making them something there not supposed to be sleek and slender not bulky.
Ivan Tampi also makes a MEAN looking wide-body Corvette. The best take I have seen yet on the new mid-engine take. He’s a talented fellow.
This resembles a very sick beached whale with a horrible sun tan. Bulbous, Bloated fenders “tacked on” remind me of a lady I was behind at Walmart yesterday. Perhaps Mr. Ivan, the alleged “self-taught automotive designer” should have stayed in school a bit longer.
I think I’m gonna barf. It probably used to be a nice Camaro until they screwed all that plastic crap to it. Why mess with perfection. GM did a great job designing this car originally.
Would have been cheaper to buy an SUV and get 2 more doors, or put an outboard motor on the rear.
Hood is like an upturned dinghy !!!!!!
My opinion is, it’s Fugly. The Camaro up until that thing, wasn’t a bad looking car.
Wow, what a shame. Waste of a perfectly good Camaro. That about sums it up for me……..
Looks like 8 people built it with 8 different ideas. A big Cluster F___.
